Download coordinates as: Alberton is a rural locality in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

[4] A town reserve was established in 1865 on the southern bank near the junction of the Logan and Albert Rivers.

[11][15][3] In October 1886, a well-known property on the Albert River owned by W. K. Witty called "Yellowwood Estate" was advertised for subdivision into suitable sized farms and then auctioned by Simon Fraser & Son.

[19][20] In the 1950s, a very notable Bora ceremonial site on the Logan river was destroyed, and replaced with a pineapple plantation owned by a Mr Inklemann.

The site bore the characteristics of the classic twin circles, with a north-south orientation, the large northern ring measuring 70–80 feet in diameter, while the smaller ring lay some 100 feet to its south.

[21] In September 2012, an archaeological dig was undertaken on the former Ageston sugar plantation, revealing stone and steel structures, a Cornish boiler and evaporating pans.

[1] Alberton is primarily a rural area with sugar cane plantations and prawn farms.

[24] Established by the German settlers, it is now operated by the Gold Coast City Council.

[26] The Gold Coast City Council operates a fortnightly mobile library service which visits St Peter's Lutheran Hall in Alberton Road.
