Albany was established in 1837 on the site of a tavern owned by Benny Dowell (the original county seat was at Paoli, 2 miles south). The name may have been derived from the city in New York. The Paoli post office opened in 1833 and moved to Albany in 1837. Clinton County itself was formed in 1836 and is located in the Pennyrile region of the state. The elevation in the county ranges from 530 to 1,780 feet above sea level.
Of local interest is the Foothills Festival, which is held annually on the Town Square. The festival lasts 9 days and has main featured events as well as art and craft displays, a flea market, great
food, rides, contests, pageants, live music and more!
