About Altoona, Pennsylvania
Altoona is a city of 43,963 people in Blair County, at the foot of Brush Mountain in the Allegheny Mountains. The Pennsylvania Railroad founded it in 1849 as the place to build and repair its engines and cars. Altoona became a borough on February 6, 1854, when about 2,000 people lived here, and it was made a city under laws approved in 1867 and 1868.
The Civil War brought heavy orders for locomotives, so the town grew fast, reaching about 10,000 people by 1870 and 20,000 by 1880. Its rail lines made Altoona easy to reach, and in late September 1862 it hosted the War Governors' Conference, where 13 governors of Union states met and gave early backing to the Emancipation Proclamation. After the Battle of Gettysburg, the commission that planned the Gettysburg National Cemetery also held its first meeting here.
“Its name is not derived from the Latin word altus nor from the French word alto, as has frequently been asserted and published, but from the beautiful, liquid, and expressive Cherokee word Allatoona.”
- Built on David Robinson's farmThe city stands on land that belonged to David Robinson. Archibald Wright of Philadelphia bought the farm from him in 1849 and passed it to his son, John A. Wright, who split it into building lots. That work made the younger Wright one of Altoona's founders, and he is among the several men said to have picked the city's name.
- 7,873 locomotivesAt its height in the early 20th century, the railroad's Altoona Works stretched three miles, with 218 acres of yards and 37 acres of shop floor in 122 buildings, and about 15,000 people worked there. The company built 7,873 of its own locomotives here, the last one in 1946. By 1925 the city held the largest concentration of railroad shops in the nation, with 16,500 workers.
- The first industrial libraryIn 1853 the railroad opened the Mechanic's Library for its workers, the first industrial library in the country. The company also started the city's fire departments, sponsored a city band and built the Cricket Field sports complex. The library still serves the city today as the Altoona Area Public Library.
- The Texas Hot Dog, 1918The Texas Hot Dog was first made in downtown Altoona in 1918. A shop in Paterson, New Jersey, opened in 1924 and became better known for it, but Altoona had it first.
- The oldest wooden coasterLakemont Park in Altoona is home to Leap-The-Dips, the oldest wooden roller coaster in the world. The ride has been closed since 2024.
