Alton is a town in Kane County, Utah, United States. The population was 119 at the 2010 census,[4] a decrease from the 2000 figure of 134.

History

Alton was first settled by Lorenzo Wesley Roundy in 1865 and was originally called Roundys Station.[5][6] Roundy's family was forced to leave due to conflicts with the local American Indians. The community was later called Graham, after Graham Duncan McDonald, a local pioneer. Over the years, many names had been discussed, but a consensus could not be reached. In 1912, a drawing was held at a community event to determine the name of the community. Charles R. Pugh, who had been reading about the Alton Fjord in Norway suggested the name, and it was pulled from the hat by a two-year-old child.
