COMMUNITIESALTONA

The Town of Altona in western DeKalb County was founded in 1865, predating Garrett by 10 years. Altona was not incorporated as a town until June 1906.

Its roots go back to a sawmill and lumber business and the building of the railroad. It was named for a town in Germany that many of its early residents once called home.

Recnt repairs and improvements to the Town Hall, constructed from a residence in the building that formerly served as the Altona Fire Department, include new doors and windows, insulation and removal of barn doors at the back of the building that once allowed access to fire protection vehicles.

Last summer, an abandoned home was demolished under the town’s recently adopted unsafe building ordinance.
