The Albert constituency was created for the 1961 general election as part of a major nationwide redistricting.

Albert is bounded by the Caribbean Sea to the east and south, Haulover Creek to the north, and the constituencies of Mesopotamia and Queen's Square to the west.

The historic Belize City Swing Bridge, which crosses Haulover Creek, connects Albert with the Fort George constituency.

He held the seat as a member of the NIP, then the UDP and finally the NABR until his retirement in 1998.

In 1998 Mark Espat won the constituency for the PUP for the first time in 37 years, defeating the UDP's Tom Morrison.
