Town Of Hamilton
A Brief Note About Hamilton :
The Town of Hamilton is located on the Northshore of Massachusetts and has long been known for its association with equestrian and agricultural activities. While moving forward into the future, Hamilton is continually exploring new ways to grow, while embracing its rich and storied history.
In a recent ceremony with dignitaries from France, the Town rededicated the Liberty Road Markers at Patton Park. These markers were a gift to the town from the people of France to express their gratitude for the role Hamilton’s General George S. Patton, Jr. played in the liberation of France.
Originally a section of Ipswich known as “The Hamlet,” Hamilton was incorporated on June 21, 1793. Named for Alexander Hamilton, his portrait became the town seal in 1903. Mr. Hamilton didn’t have any specific association with the town, but was most likely chosen for his importance in American history.
Hamilton is a rural community with a compact downtown area, residential neighborhoods, and open spaces. It is home to Bradley Palmer State Park, the Chebacco Woods, Chebacco Lake, Patton Park, Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, and Myopia Hunt Club, among other notable organizations.
