Centenary of Albany, Western Australia

The Centenary of Albany in 1927 commemorated the founding of Albany, Western Australia with a number of events.

It preceded the centenary of Western Australia by two years. The Albany community and authorities were in direct conflict with the Western Australian government about the celebration and its proximity to the state centenary of 1929, both before the centenary and after.

The Western Mail celebrated with a special issue. Other regional newspapers also acknowledged Albany's founding and difference from state centenary, not all necessarily complimentarily. Comments well after both centenaries were being made due to the Perth-based 1929 centenary and its proponents as derogatory of the Albany event.
