This is the Sixth Oldest Village in Michigan
According to
Almont s web page, Daniel Black bought up some land and constructed the first house – log cabin – on what is now Main Street.
The village became established the following year (1834) under the name “Newburg”. The village name was forever changed in January 1846 as “Almont”, after Mexican diplomat General Juan Almonte.
After 1865, Almont really took off. People were coming into Michigan from other states just to live in Almont, thanks to the inexpensive price of $1.25 per acre of land.
