Founded in 1791 as Fort Hamilton, the city transitioned into an agricultural and trading hub. The innovative Hamilton Hydraulic System, completed in 1845, harnessed water power from the Great Miami River, attracting industries like the Beckett Paper Company. This paved the way for further industrial growth, including Henry Ford's tractor factory after WWI.

Hamilton has three historic districts reflecting its diverse heritage. Though impacted by the 1913 flood and economic shifts, the city is revitalizing through an arts-centered downtown renaissance. Initiatives like the RiversEdge amphitheater, Marcum Park, and public art installations enhance residents' quality of life. Hamilton takes pride in providing competitive utilities and award-winning drinking water.
