History
The community was first settled in 1813 by Peter Henderson. The village was incorporated in 1876 as "Sand Bank." In 1890, the population was 551.
On November 10, 2010, residents of Altmar voted to dissolve their village's government under Governor Andrew Cuomo's Government Reorganization and Citizen Empowerment Act, becoming the first village to do so under the act; the margin was a mere six votes. The village board had until May 31, 2011 to draft a plan to dissolve the village's government.
The village was dissolved on June 1, 2013 and remains an area within the Town of Albion.

Alta Mira
by: BjorkEitt sinn tok eg tali gamlan totralegan mann
Eg var a vappi nidri vid hofn
A bryggjunni stod hann
Hann sagdi mer fra landi einu
Langt af leid pad er
Og nu er eins og etthvad hafi brostid inni mer
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig mer
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig ber
Sa gamli sagdi mer par solin saegraen
Vaeri a lit I sjonum spekinginslegar syntu kyrnar
Ut a hlid Hann seli sa i singleik i silfurtitum skom
Um torgin toltu tifaelur i kjolfotum med blom

Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig mer
