How The Town Got Its Name
Albert Lea, Minnesota, was named after Albert Miller Lea, a topographical engineer in the United States Army. In 1835, while part of an expedition led by Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny, Lea surveyed southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. He documented the area’s geography in a report titled “Notes on the Wisconsin Territory,” which was published in 1836. In recognition of his contributions to mapping the region, the city of Albert Lea was named in his honor.
