"Providing
security and services to improve the quality of life for our residents" |
| The Village of Albers,
IL is a small rural community located along Illinois 161 and the Southern
Railway in the southwest portion of Clinton County, Illinois, about
34 miles east-southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. Albers is a steadily
growing community of over 1,000 residents of mainly German Catholic
heritage. In years past, Albers was sometimes referred to as "the
biggest little town in Illinois", a tribute to the amount of business
it did in comparison to its size, both in terms of population and area.
At one time, Albers was also home to Monterey Coal Mine #2, one of Illinois'
largest. Though its history covers a time span of less than a century,
as Clinton County's youngest community, Albers has a very interesting
past. Albers provides a peaceful residential life while at the same
time allowing easy access to major activities such as shopping malls,
the arts, and major sporting events. |
