About Alton

Set among the limestone bluffs and rolling farmland of north-central Kansas, Alton offers a quiet, neighborly pace of life along the South Solomon River. Founded in 1870 as Bull City before adopting its current name, the town sits right along U.S. 24 in Osborne County. Community traditions run deep here, highlighted by an annual Easter Sunrise Pageant held at the town's landmark illuminated cross, making it a peaceful spot for anyone seeking easygoing small-town living.
