24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in Alto, WI

Alto is an unincorporated community in the Town of Alto in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, settled almost entirely by Dutch immigrants from the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.

Dutch settlers began arriving in the Alto area in 1845 and 1846 — among them Jan A. Meenk in 1845 — founding one of Wisconsin's earliest Dutch colonies, closely tied to nearby Waupun.

The Town of Alto was formally organized on April 6, 1847, at a meeting held in the schoolhouse near Miller's mill.

Alto's deep Dutch Reformed roots still show in its two churches, one Christian Reformed and one Reformed Church congregation worshiping in a building dating to 1898.

Every year in early August, Alto hosts the Alto 4-H and Farm Bureau Fair, a two-day, midweek event described as the shortest and smallest annual summertime fair in Wisconsin, complete with 4-H judging, a tractor pull, and country breakfasts.

The Alto Fair, first held in 1947, is famously a 'dry fair' with no beer sales — it was started partly because Alto's conservative Dutch residents objected to alcohol sales and Sunday activities at the Fond du Lac County Fair.

The surrounding Town of Alto had 1,055 residents at the 2020 census, down slightly from 1,103 people in 344 households at the 2000 census.

The Town of Alto covers 36.3 square miles of farmland in western Fond du Lac County, and a Saputo cheese plant is the community's largest employer.

Locals pronounce the community's name 'AL-to' rather than 'ALL-to.'
