History of The Community
First occupants of the area were industrial workers as this area was the location for several industrial factories. The industrial factories were set up in the early 19th century by John Albro and his brother Samuel (after whom the community is named). The two brothers established the area as an industrial hub with a nail factory, tannery and barking mill. The Naval Radio Station in Albro Lake is another feature of the community. It served as a naval radio communications station for the Atlantic Coast set up in 1942. The site was developed in order to cope with the North Atlantic U-boat threat in WWII. The site was renamed HMC NRS Albro Lake on July 1, 1956 and remained such until its closure in 1968. Near the end of WWII the area was a residential subdivision until 1961 when it was amalgamated into the city of Dartmouth
