Albion Park was given its name by the land grand owner when it was settled around 1815. “Albion” is one of the earliest names of Great Britain. The surrounding area was cleared by cedar cutters who paved the way for graziers who saw the wonderful potential the rich and well-watered soil offered. In 1887 the railway line was opened, and this, in addition to the completion of a new road from Macquarie Pass to the Southern Highlands contributed to the town’s growth. As the ridges between Albion Park and Minnamurra were too high to support the railway lines, they were routed closer to the shore of Lake Illawarra. The actual Albion Park railway station was sited 2 kilometres to the east, and in 1887 a new town sprang up next to it and this is now known as Albion Park Rail.
The Illawarra Highway runs through Albion Park and then re-joins the Princes Highway just north of town. The road brings many visitors to the area and is the main thoroughfare between Jamberoo Action Park and Sydney
