Alberton was named for Albert J. Earling, president of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
For over 30 years, the town has celebrated its railroad heritage with "Alberton's Railroad Day" held the third Saturday in July. Activities include a home-town parade, petting zoo, railroad car tour, wool spinning circle, western melodrama, family games like Hunt for the Golden Spike, and music from local artists. Vendors showcase their artistic talents using local rocks, minerals, and other wildcrafting materials.
On April 11, 1996, a Montana Rail Link train carrying chlorine derailed near Alberton. Three hundred fifty people were injured and 100,000 people were evacuated from Alberton and Frenchtown. Interstate 90 was shut down for nineteen days. The incident has been described as "the largest chemical spill from a train in United States history.
Alberton is the home of Northwest Indian Bible School, a Bible-training institution founded and operated by the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection
