An early settler in the region was Martin Lacy, who built Lacy's Fort just to the west to the current site of Alto around 1838. In 1838 and 1839, during the campaign to suppress the Córdova Rebellion, the fort served as an operations and supply base for the Third Militia brigade commanded by Maj. Gen. Thomas J. Rusk.
The town of Alto was laid out in 1849 and named for the Spanish word meaning "high" on account of the site's elevation on a drainage divide between the Neches and Angelina Rivers.
