==History==
Altamont was established in 1848 as a county seat for Grundy County, which had been created in 1844. Adrian Northcut, a prominent local farmer and military officer, was the prime advocate for the site's selection.〔Charles Sherrill, "(Grundy County in 1850 )." ''The Pathfinder'' vol. II, no. 2 (1997), 3. Warning: Large .pdf file.〕 The town's name comes from combining ''alto'' (meaning "altitude") and ''mont'' (meaning "mountain").〔William Ray Turner, Mona G. Moreland (ed.), "(Odds and Ends )." ''The Pathfinder'' vol. VII, no. 3 (2002), 1. Warning: Large .pdf file.〕 Although the Civil War somewhat stunted the town's growth, by 1870 Altamont's population had grown to 217.〔Charles Sherrill, "(Grundy County in 1870 )." ''The Pathfinder'' vol. II, no. 4 (1997), 21.〕
Altamont has one of the oldest Mormon congregations in the southeastern United States. The congregation was formed in the 1890s and a Mormon chapel was built in Northcutt Cove just north of Altamont in 1909. Shortly thereafter, several members of the congregation migrated to Altamont. A Mormon chapel was completed along Main Street in 1947 and a newer chapel was completed just off Viola Road in 1981.〔Mary Tate Brooks, "(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of Altamont, Tennessee )." ''The Pathfinder'' vol. II, no. 3 (1997), 7-9. Warning: Large .pdf file.〕
In 1988, Altamont's school building was renovated and now houses the Altamont City Hall and the Altamont Library and Museum. The building was renamed the "Florence R. Scruggs Municipal Building" in 1996, after a long-time teacher at the school.〔Mary Tate Brooks, "(Women of Grundy County: Florence Rolling Scruggs )." ''The Pathfinder'' vol. I, no. 3 (1996), 8. Warning: Large .pdf file.〕
