History
The Habsburgs ruled over the villages in Vorarlberg alternately from Tyrol and Further Austria. In 1801, Altach was separated from neighboring Götzis; from 1805 to 1814 Altach belonged to Bavaria, then reverted to Austria. Altach has been part of the Austrian state of Vorarlberg since the latter's founding in 1861. From 1945 to 1955, the municipality was in the French occupation zone in Austria.
