Book Title: Biographical History Of Barton County

ALBERT

IT WAS back in the early 80s when C. B. Worden and other residents of his
township realized the necessity for a town where they located Albert, which is
on the Scott City branch of the Santa Fe railway, seventeen miles northwest of
Great Bend. Albert, like other towns in that section of the county, never had a
boom, but within a short time after it was laid out it served the purpose for
which it was intended and offered the people of that section of the county a
trading point and it was not long until nearly all lines of retail business were
represented. The first store was started by Charles Hayes who later sold out.
Albert now has a bank, four elevators, hotel, livery and feed stable, two
general merchandise stores and a population of about 170. It was near the townsite
