Nalazi se na zapadnoj obali rijeke Hudson, oko 10 miles (16 km) južno od ušća u rijeku Mohawk.

Grad Albany je ekonomsko i kulturno središte [[Capital District|Capital Districta]] države New York, metropolitanskog područja koje uključuje obližnje gradove i predgrađa poput [[Colonie]], [[Troy (New York)|Troya]], [[Schenectady (New York)|Schenectadyja]] i [[Saratoga Springs (New York)|Saratoga Springsa]]. S procijenjenom populacijom od 1,1 milijuna stanovnika u 2013. godini, Capital District je treća najnaseljenija metropolitanska regija u državi. Prema podacima iz 2023. godine, Albany ima 101.228 stanovnika.

Područje rijeke Hudson prvotno su naseljavali [[Mohikanci]] koji su govorili algonkvijanskim jezikom.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-04-29|title=Peoples of the Hudson Valley {{!}} Weaving Together the Northeast|url=https://www.huronresearch.ca/nena/peoples-of-the-northeast/the-hudson-valley/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210913180552/https://www.huronresearch.ca/nena/peoples-of-the-northeast/the-hudson-valley/|archive-date=September 13, 2021|access-date=2021-09-13|language=en-US}}</ref> Područje su kasnije naselili nizozemski kolonisti, koji su 1614. godine izgradili [[Fort Nassau]] za trgovinu krznom, a 1624. [[Fort Orange]]. Godine 1664. Englezi su preuzeli nizozemska naselja i preimenovali grad u Albany u čast [[Škotska|škotske]] titule vojvode od Yorka (kasnije James II. od Engleske i Irske te James VII. od Škotske): vojvode od Albanyja.<ref>{{cite web|title=Why Albany?|url=https://www.scotlandshop.com/tartanblog/why-albany|access-date=3 April 2024|website=Scotland Shop}}</ref><ref name="ReferenceA2">{{London Gazette|issue=2009|page=1|date=16 February 1684}}</ref>

Grad je službeno dobio [[Povelja|povelju]] 1686. godine pod engleskom upravom. Albany je postao glavni grad države New York 1797. godine, nakon osnivanja Sjedinjenih Država. To je najstarije sačuvano naselje od izvornih trinaest britanskih kolonija sjeverno od Virginije.<ref name="fitzpatrick2">{{cite news|author=Fitzpatrick, Edward|date=June 3, 1998|title=312-Year-Old Document Shapes City's Government|page=B4|work=Times Union (Albany)|publisher=Hearst Newspapers|url=http://albarchive.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=5926696|url-status=dead|access-date=June 18, 2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130111234233/http://albarchive.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=5926696|archive-date=January 11, 2013|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Krajem 18. i tijekom većeg dijela 19. stoljeća, Albany je bio središte trgovine i prometa. Grad se nalazi na sjevernom kraju plovnog dijela rijeke Hudson. Bio je prvobitno istočno krajnje odredište [[Kanal Erie|Erie kanala]], koji povezuje [[Velika jezera]], te dom nekih od najranijih željeznica na svijetu.

U 1920-ima u Albanyju se pojavio snažan politički mehanizam pod kontrolom Demokratske stranke. U drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća populacija Albanyja se smanjila zbog širenja urbanih područja i suburbanizacije. Tijekom 1990-ih, Zakonodavno tijelo države New York odobrilo je gradu plan izgradnje i renovacije vrijedan 234 milijuna dolara, što je potaknulo obnovu u centru grada.<ref name="mceneny2012">McEneny (2006), p. 201</ref>

Unutrašnjost Albanyja sastoji se od valovitih brežuljaka koji su nekada bili dio Albany Pine Busha, područja borovih i hrastovih grmova, a tlo je suho i pješčano, ostatak drevnog jezera Albany. Zbog urbanog razvoja, Pine Bush se smanjio s početnih 25.000 na današnjih 6.000 hektara (10.100 na 2.400 ha). Prirodni rezervat osnovan je od strane Državnog zakonodavstva 1988. godine, a smješten je na zapadnom rubu grada, šireći se u Guilderland i Colonie.<ref name="burger27362">Burger (2006), pp. 27–36</ref> To je jedini veći unutrašnji ekosustav borovih šikara i pješčanih dina u Sjedinjenim Državama<ref name="pinebush2">{{cite web|date=January 12, 2008|title=Virtual Exhibit|url=http://www.savethepinebush.org/Exhibit/Exhibit.html|access-date=June 14, 2010|publisher=Save the Pine Bush}}</ref> i dom je mnogim ugroženim vrstama, uključujući plavi leptir Karner.<ref name="burger582">Burger (2006), p. 58</ref>

Albany godišnje primi 1.030 mm (40,7 inča) oborina, s 138 dana u godini s najmanje 0,25 mm (0,01 inča) oborina. Snijeg je značajan, s ukupno 151 cm (59,4 inča) snijega po sezoni, ali s manjim nakupljanjem nego u područjima s efektom jezera na sjeveru i zapadu, jer je Albany udaljeniji od jezera Ontario. Međutim, Albany je dovoljno blizu atlantske obale da povremeno primi teške snijegove od noreastera, a grad s vremena na vrijeme doživi i Alberta clippers (brze zimske oluje).<ref>{{cite news|author=Scruton, Bruce A.|date=January 18, 2005|title=It's Winter, So Warm Up to It|page=B1|work=Times Union (Albany)|publisher=Hearst Newspapers|url=http://albarchive.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=6318487|url-status=dead|access-date=September 6, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430030243/http://albarchive.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=6318487|archive-date=April 30, 2011}}</ref>

Autocesta ''New York State Thruway'' najistaknutija je prometnica koja opslužuje Albany. Od Albanyja prema zapadu, dio je autoceste ''Interstate 90'', koja povezuje Albany s većim gradovima poput Syracusea, Rochestera i Buffala. Na jugu postaje dio autoceste ''Interstate 87'', koja vodi prema New York Cityju.

Kratki, neplaćeni dio autoceste ''Interstate 90'' proteže se sjevernim i istočnim dijelovima Albanyja prije nego što se ponovno spaja s ''Berkshire'' proširenjem autoceste ''Thruway'', koje vodi do autoceste ''Massachusetts Turnpike'' i konačno do Bostona. Sjeverno od Albanyja, ''Interstate 87'' prati cestu ''Northway'' do Kanade kod Champlaina; ''Autoroute 15'' nastavlja u Quebecu, povezujući Albany s Montrealom.

Autocesta ''Interstate 787'' povezuje centar Albanyja s južnim dijelom I-87/''Thruway'', dok se na sjeveru spaja s besplatnim dijelom ''Interstate 90'' prije nego što nastavi prema Troyu, Watervlietu, Colonieju i Menandsu.

== Gradovi prijatelji ==
Grad [[Nijmegen]] u Nizozemskoj povezao se s Albanyjem nakon [[Drugi svjetski rat|Drugog svjetskog rata]]. Uz pomoć Katoličkog sveučilišta u Albanyju, Katoličko sveučilište u Nijmegenu (''Radboud University Nijmegen'') obnovilo je djelomično uništenu knjižnicu, pri čemu je nizozemskom sveučilištu donirano preko 50.000 knjiga.

Kako bi izrazio zahvalnost za pomoć nakon rata, Nijmegen je 1948. godine poslao Albanyju 50.000 tulipanskih lukovica; ovaj je čin doveo do uspostave godišnjeg Tulipanskog festivala (''Tulip Festival'')<ref name="mceneny1922">McEneny (2006), p. 192</ref>. Većina drugih kulturnih veza uspostavljena je 1980-ih tijekom mandata gradonačelnika Whalena kao dio njegovog programa kulturnog širenja.<ref name="mceneny1923">McEneny (2006), p. 192</ref>
