Altmar is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Oswego County, New York, United States. The population was 407 at the 2010 census.

The former Village of Altmar (formerly "Sand Bank" and now dissolved) is in northern part of the Town of Albion at State Route 13 and County Route 22. Altmar is the seat of the town government.

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.[3][4][5][6][7] The village board had until May 31, 2011 to draft a plan to dissolve the village's government.[8]

The village was dissolved on June 1, 2013[9] and remains an area within the Town of Albion.

Attractions

Located within Altmar is the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, operated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to support the state's stocking program for Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The hatchery is a popular destination for visitors, many of whom come to watch egg collections from steelhead, coho salmon and Chinook salmon returning to the hatchery. Over three million young fish are raised at the hatchery each year.[10]
