Albert County (2016 population 29,158)[1] is New Brunswick's third-youngest county, located on the Western side of the Petitcodiac River on the Chignecto Bay in the Bay of Fundy; the shire town is Hopewell Cape. The county was established in 1845 from parts of Westmorland County and Saint John County, and named after Prince Albert.[2] Since the abolition of county municipal governments in 1967, its best-known use is as a census division.
The mineral albertite was discovered a few miles away in 1849, giving rise to Albert Mines.[3]
