Bus service was in Albemarle as early as the mid-1910s.
The earliest location of a bus station that I could find doesn’t appear until the
mid-1920s next to the Alameda Theatre. It is unclear, but it may have briefly been located at Five Points for a short while before moving to one of the Central Hotel store locations in early 1927.
By the late-30s the station had relocated back to North Second. Around 1940 until the mid-50s, a station was on East Main across from the current library
and then it moved to South Second where Breakfast Nook is today.
The last station I could find was in the early 1970s on West Main Street and
Harris Street.
