The Town of Hamilton
Massachusetts is located in the eastern central portion of Essex County,
in Eastern Massachusetts. Many of the approximately 7000 residents of the
town commute to Boston, 24 miles away, while others are employed in area
communities. Currently the town has no manufacturing industry and no industrially-zoned
land. Hamilton's identity as a predominantly suburban bedroom community
is assured. Hamilton has special appeal as a residential community. Its
North Shore location provides easy access to the Atlantic seashore with
its preserves, beaches and boating.
The town's surroundings typify rural
New England and include many handsome historic houses. Large areas of open
and agricultural land encompassing the Audubon preserve, Bradley Palmer
State Park, Myopia Hunt Club and several large estates and farms create
a pastoral environment. The visitor to the town is quite likely to share
the back roads with horseback riders.
The town also has Chebacco Lake within
its boundaries, which provides for additional recreation activities. Situated
on a beautiful hill in the town is the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary,
and nearby is Gordon College. Hamilton shares an excellent regional school
system with the Town of Wenham and its educational resources are an attraction
for the town.
