General Information about Alton

Alton is a town in Belknap County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 4,502 at the 2000 census. It is home to Alton Bay State Forest and Mount Major State Forest. Alton includes the village of Alton Bay, a long-time resort located beside Lake Winnipesaukee.
Originally called New Durham Gore because of rocky upland areas, or "gores," the town was settled in the middle 1770s, mainly by farmers because the highland areas provided less frost. Merchants then filled the lowlands. Early Alton history recounts stories of the merchants trying to convince the farmers to incorporate. They would succeed in 1796, when the community was named for the Alton family.
