Albertville is a city in Wright County, Minnesota, United States.
[3] The area that is known as Albertville was first a town site called "Hamburg" by Joseph Vetsch.
After 30 years of contributions to the area, including Albert Zachman, who donated land for the current historic church by Central Park (also recognized as Lions Park) J.P. Eull and Theodore Aydt proposed a petition to incorporate the township as Saint Michael Station with a population of 190.
In the next few years, the town started to raise funds for a Catholic church, completed in 1902, was named the Church of St. Albert, in honor of Albert Zachman's contributions to the town.
In 1909, Father Duhr proposed to change the name to Albertville in 1909, again in honor of Albert Zachman.
