}}Alton is a city in Osborne County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 103.[3]

History

Alton was founded in 1870 as Bull City, and was named in honor of Hiram C. Bull.[4] It was renamed Alton in 1885, after the city of Alton, Illinois because female residents didn't like the former name.[5][6][7]

Geography

Alton is located at {{coord|39|28|6|N|98|56|50|W|type:city}} (39.468196, −98.947360).[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|0.31|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[9]

Climate

Alton has a humid continental (Dfa) climate typical for the central Great Plains. Summers are hot and often very humid, with heavy rain from thunderstorms not uncommon, whilst tornadoes are a frequent hazard and are often followed by heavy rainfall. Winter weather varies greatly from warm or even hot weather due to chinook winds to extreme cold when a North American High with very cold air moves southwards from Canada. The coldest temperature recorded in Alton has been {{convert|−31|F|C|disp=or}} on December 23, 1989.

One of the highest recorded temperatures in American history (and the highest in Kansas' recorded history) was recorded near Alton on July 24, 1936. On that day, the temperature maxed out at {{convert|121|°F|°C|1|disp=or}}. Only four states — California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada — have seen higher record temperatures.[10] Alton's record April temperature of {{convert|106|F|C|1|disp=or}} on April 23 of 1989 has been exceeded only by California, Arizona and Texas.[11] Temperatures over {{convert|100|F|C|1|disp=or}} are expected on fifteen days each summer and {{convert|90|F|C|1|disp=or}} on more than sixty-seven.

The lowest temperature ever recorded in Kansas was measured in Lebanon, which sits in the adjacent Smith County, only about 35 miles away.[12]
