Overview
Why People Move Here
Albin is a tiny incorporated town of 169 residents in the far northeast corner of Laramie County, about 55 miles from downtown Cheyenne via Wyoming Highway 216. Originally a Union Pacific railroad siding named for local storekeeper John Albin Anderson, the town today is surrounded by dryland wheat farms and cattle ranches, with Albin Elementary School (K-6) serving as the community anchor. Beyond practical commuter range from Cheyenne, Albin functions as an independent rural community with very limited commercial infrastructure.
