Altario - Bawlf Page 3
Altario
Porterfield Robinson arrived in the Altario area in
1909 where he established the first post office. Founded
in 1919, the name came from the combination of Alberta
and Ontario.
In the past, Altario was a large well-populated community
but is now a hamlet in Special Areas 4 on Sec.
Hwy 899 north of Hwy 12. A school, Kindergarten to
Grade 12, remains as well as a few businesses but no
services. Buildings still standing include the Kreiser’s
Garage, Jake’s Store, the hall, the school, the Alberta
Hotel/Bar, post office, and the church.
