Reference
Historical Context
In 1900, the Baton Rouge, Hammond and Eastern Railroad was incorporated with the objective of running a line between the towns of Baton Rouge and Hammond. This company did not begin construction and was acquired by the Illinois Central system in 1906.
The Illinois Central then proposed a railroad that would run through Maxwell three miles to the south. Later they altered the route to include Denham Springs and this alteration placed the line through Albany.
Albany was created as a crossroad community where the east-west railroad intersected the old north-south road. The first regular train was operated over the Baton Rouge-Hammond line on February 26, 1908.
