Hamilton
is located in Essex County approximately 15 miles south of Newburyport, 21 miles southeast of Lawrence and 24 miles north of Boston. Primarily a "bedroom community," many of Hamilton's 7,000 residents commute to Boston for work. The town of Hamilton itself has no manufacturing industry and no industrially zoned land. Located along the North Shore of Massachusetts, the town has long been recognized for its equestrian and agricultural activities. Originally, it was a part of Ipswich known as "The Hamlet," and was eventually incorporated as the town of Hamilton in 1793. The town's North Shore located provides easy access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches, boating and preserves. The town also has many historic homes and buildings and is home to Bradley Palmer State Park, the Chebacco Woods, Chebacco Lake, Patton Park, the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Myopia Hunt Club. State Route 128, which is the "inner belt" around Boston, passes just south of town in Manchester. Other major highways in the Hamilton area are State Route 1A, which runs north-south to the Massachusetts border and State Route 22.
