Located in the southwestern part of the state (JacksonCounty), Altus was founded in 1886 in a settlement about 2.5 miles west of our present city, and originally named Frazer. After the town was almost washed away by a flood, the citizens moved their belongings, started over in the present site and changed the name to Altus, which means "altitude" or "high place" in Latin. Altus is home to Altus AFB and a world class company Bar-S Foods.
