I am trying to find out some information about Albright, Preston County. There is not a lot to be found on simple internet searches, I have yet to go to the library. I am wondering if anyone knows when Albright was founded. I know that the land was named for the landowner, David Albright who moved to Preston County in the early 1800s, his children were born here around 1815. He was born in PA but died here in Albright, Preston County, VA 1858 (WV did not become its own until 1863). If anyone can help me out with when Albright become a town or community, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.
