“Beginning long before that official occasion, the land where Hamilton now stands has witnessed many stories,” the City’s website said.

“Whether about belonging and settlement, triumph and tragedy or human and industrial history, these memories are woven into the fabric of the city’s people and places. Hamilton 175 will explore these stories working in partnership with the 175 Advisory Group and Hamilton’s diverse communities.”
In addition to special programming, the details of which are yet to be determined, the City of Hamilton is working on a website to share some of these stories and pictures of the city’s past.
