To expand on the answer by @Aaron Brick:
Google Translate does a passable job on this more detailed history of the Thuringian States as well as this one on Saxe-Altenburg specifically. Here is the former's explanation of the 1826 dynastic land division:
In 1826, the last dynastic land division took place in the Ernestine lands after the extinction of the line Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1826). Saxe-Meiningen received all Saxe-Hildburghausen and the Saalfelder part of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. The Hildburghausen Duke received Saxe-Altenburg as an independent duchy. Saxe-Coburg received Saxe-Gotha and united to the double duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Also as noted by MAGolding in a comment:
It is well known that the line of Saxe-Alternburg became extinct in the male line in the 1820s and that the lands of Saxe-Altenburg were inherited by a Wettin cousin, causing a redistribution of the various Wettin lands.
"Well known' because Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha is the line of Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, and thus of their descendants including the present Queen Elizabeth II, though renamed Windsor in 1917 by Victoria's grandson, George V.
The Duchy of Gotha itself had been in the Ernestine Branch of the House of Wettin since its founding in 1640 by Duke Wilhelm von Saxe-Weimar as a landholding for his younger brother Ernest the Pious.

This transition came about due to the 1825 extinction of the Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg line, which reorganized the Thuringian States, including Saxe-Altenburg. Per Wikipedia, "As a result of an arbitration issued by King Frederick Augustus I of Saxony in 1826, the Ernestine duchies were rearranged and Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was again split".
