The Town of Hamilton 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. |
