 Welcome
to Albion -- the smart community; the original home of Mother's Day,
observed since 1877, thirty-seven years before it became a
national celebration; the birthplace of "The Sweetheart of
Sigma Chi" and "The Old Rugged Cross".
We are very proud of our
rich cultural heritage and ethnic diversity; of our trees, parks and
river; of our nationally renowned educational institutions, Albion
College and Starr Commonwealth; of our commercial historic district
and brick-paved mainstreet; of our industrious residents who come
together each May, under the auspices of Citizens to Beautify
Albion, to plant flowers at the gateways of our community.
Our lives are greatly enriched by
the many cultural offerings provided by Albion College, the Albion
Public Schools, and community organizations such as Albion Community
Theatre and the Albion community Band; by numerous athletic events and
recreational activities through the schools, the college and Starr
Commonwealth; and by the wealth of opportunities for meaningful
involvement through hundreds of volunteer organizations and churches in
our community.
 Whether you are a visitor or
someone considering moving to Albion for business or personal reasons,
we are pleased to welcome you to our town. As you discover all that
we have to offer, we are sure that you will come to love our community
as we do.
