Alto was also a station on the Detroit, Grand Rapids and Western Railroad. It was named by Lucy Skidmore McVean for being the highest point of land along the railroad between Grand Rapids and Detroit.[3] The annual Alto Harvest Festival is held in September of each year. This tradition started in 1970.
