History of Albion Landing
The land where Albion Landing now sits was sold in 1919. It was bought by a group called the Albion-Duck Lake Improvement Association. They started building summer cottages along the lake for people to enjoy.
Later, in 1948, the area was officially mapped out. A new road was built to help people get around. This road eventually became known as Country Club Lane. Today, Albion Landing is often simply called Duck Lake. It is known for its many beautiful and luxurious homes. The Duck Lake Country Club is also located nearby, offering activities for residents.
