Description From Owner:

Pop. 1,025. Part of the Town ofCaledon, Reg. Mun. of Peel, on the West Br. of the Credit R. and C. Rd. 136, 82 km. NW of Toronto.
The place was settled in the 1830s by members of the Thomas Russell family, who for three years were the only inhabitants.
As others took up land in the area, the name Williamstown was used. When the post office was being established in 1854, postmaster John S. Meek suggested the name Alton after a town in Illinois.
