Albany
Albany is a city in the U.S. state of Georgia, and is the seat of Dougherty County. Located in southwest Georgia,[4] it is the principal city of the Albany, Georgia metropolitan area. The population was 77,434 at the 2010 U.S. Census, making it the eighth-largest city in the state.[1]
The original name of the city was Puddleville.[6] The city’s first postmaster, Joel “Uncle Jack” Parrish, wanted to change the name of the city. It is believed that he saw the name “Philadelphia” on a croaker sack and struck out the first and last four letters to create the present name of Adel.[7]
The Georgia Southern and Florida Railway arrived in Adel in the 1880s. Adel was incorporated as a town in 1889.[8]
On January 22, 2017, a wave of thunderstorms and tornadoes passed through Adel, ultimately killing fourteen. Sunshine Acres, a local mobile home park, experienced severe damage, with over 20 homes destroyed and others damaged; seven residents were killed and an indeterminate number were injured or displaced.
