== Fun facts ==
* Altavista was once home to a Lane Furniture Industries plant which was most famous for their Lane cedar chests. At the beginning of the 21st century however, the company headquarters were moved from Altavista and the plant closed. Soon afterwards the last commemorative cedar chests were made as the plant shut down. The old plant now sits mostly vacant, but certain sections have become occupied by new companies, and Central Virginia Community College has moved into parts of the office building. A fire occurred in an empty section in early 2006.
* Altavista has a little bit of amenities to offer, but not much.
