Do you know of Altona ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Altona. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Altona. Our sources for Altona (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Altona other than they indicate that Altona would be found somewhere in Big Horn County, Wyoming. This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others. Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices. Communities Also Named Altona ...We found twelve communities that share the name Altona. Within Wyoming, the name Altona is unique. Beyond Wyoming, we know of another twelve communities that are located throughout in the United States and Canada. Of these twelve communities, nine are located in the United States and three are in Canada.
