About Albert City
The welcome sign for very rural Albert City highlights its Swedish heritage with the slogan, “How Swede It Is!” When the community was established in 1890, it was initially named Manthrop, after a town in Sweden. The U.S. Postal Service was concerned about potential confusion between Manthrop and nearby Marathon, so the name was changed to Albert City, after Albertina Anderson, the wife of the town’s founder.
