The Albany Bulb peninsula is a relic of almost a century of systematic filling of the shallow Bay and its adjacent wetland. The Bulb proper—the round hill at the tip of the peninsula—was created in 1963, after the City of Albany and Santa Fe, which owned the land, signed a contract for the disposal of construction debris. Thus The Bulb is made of mostly of construction debris such as concrete and rebar, as is still very visible. Lawsuits against the landfill operator brought the dumping to a halt in 1983.
The Bulb is home to a vast array of urban art including mural, stencil, graffiti, sculpture, and installation art.
