When referencing the Address object in your Apex code, always use Schema.Address instead of Address to prevent confusion with the standard Address compound field. If referencing both the address object and the Address field in the same snippet, you can differentiate between the two by using System.Address for the field and Schema.Address for the object. ## Associated Object This object has the following associated object. If the API version isn’t specified, they’re available in the same API versions as this object. Otherwise, they’re available in the specified API version and later. [AddressHistory](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_associated_objects_history.htm) (API version 62.0) History is available for tracked fields of the object.
