Albert Lea is a city in and the county seat of Freeborn County in the southeastern part of the State of Minnesota. The city was named after Albert Miller Lea, a topographer with the United States Dragoons, who surveyed southern Minnesota and northern Iowa in 1835.The city’s early growth was based upon agriculture, farming support services and manufacturing, and was a significant rail center. But like many U.S. towns, much of the manufacturing base has diminished today. Now Albert Lea’s largest employer is the Mayo Clinic Health System. In March of 2008, the City formed a “Green Committee” made up of representatives of each city department. The committee developed and recommended a list of energy conservation and environmentally friendly practices which the City Manager has implemented throughout the city’s operations. There are three main lakes in Albert Lea: Fountain Lake, Pickerel Lake and Albert Lea Lake.
