1979: HAMILTON TOWNSHIP'S MASTER PLAN



Thirty five years ago! How the time has flown. I recall how excited we all were when Hamilton unveiled what could really be called a "wish list" for the future, and in this case many of those wished came true. We have come a long way since my 80 years as a Hamilton resident. From the Glover small neighborhood garden with chickens and geese and flower and vegetable gardens, from huge sprawling farms surrounded by the villages of Mercerville, Hamilton Square, White Horse, Yardville, Groveville, Deutzville, and Bromley, there have been incredible changes as Hamilton turned from a rural farming community to the megalopolis it is and is evolving every year. How I wish I could be here in another 50 years, but alas, life is too short.

1973: A HUGE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED

Years ago, the area along the banks of Pond Run was a nightmare for those residents of Kuser Road, Pope, Leukel, and other streets along the banks of the tributary. I remember the flood back in the 1970's, before the concrete "spillway" was constructed, how badly the homes in that area suffered. Folks along Leukel Avenue had water in their basements which flooded up to the ceiling.
