Hamilton is a small city located in Pembina County, North Dakota. It was established in 1871 and named after Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States. The city grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to its location along the Great Northern Railway.
Some notable people from Hamilton include former North Dakota Governor Arthur A. Link and author Louise Erdrich.
Hamilton's population peaked in the early 20th century at around 1,000 residents, but has since declined to just a few hundred people.
Hamilton is located in the northeastern corner of North Dakota, near the Canadian border. The city is surrounded by farmland and rolling hills, with the Pembina River running through the area.
Hamilton's economy is largely based on agriculture, with many residents working in farming and related industries. The city also relies on tourism, particularly during the summer months when visitors come to explore the Pembina Gorge.
