WHEN HAMILTON WAS A RURAL COMMUNITY


Yup! I'm a "Hamilton Hick" and proud of it! My fellow old time Hamilton residents of this wonderful township of Hamilton can recall when the over-developed area between Olden Avenue on the south, and Nottinham Way on the north was mostly open field and forest. The library-Hamilton Police Department area was in RURAL section known as "Dogtown." Ask granpa if he ever skinny dipped at the "Clay Pits," over in the area of today's Hamilton Elks. Betcha he did, or knows some of his buddys who did.
