Hamilton

History
4
Settled by Irish immigrants, New Dublin was renamed in 1847 after William S. Hamilton, son of Alexander, spent the night here in what became the first stagecoach stop between Milwaukee and Green Bay in 1848. Settled before Cedarburg, Hamilton retains some original buildings, including Concordia Mill, built in 1853, and Turner Hall, built in 1867 by Edward Janssen, who later became Wisconsin State Treasurer. His home also remains.
