This county bears the name of Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the United States treasury, under Washington. He was an aid to General George Washington throughout the Revolutionary War, first Treasurer of the United States most remembered for his fatal duel with Vice President Aaron Burr.
     The surface of the county is level in some parts, and gently undulating in others, and the soil, without any exception, is excellent, being well adapted to either corn, grain, or grass.
There are, along White river, some dry, rich prairies, and, at the heads of Cicero and Stoney creeks, some wet ones, but they are quite small. The balance of the county was originally heavily timbered, with a good proportion of oak, popular, walnut, sugar, hickory, and beech. This is one of the finest farming counties in Indiana, and most of the farmers have become wealthy.
    Noblesville is the county seat. It is located in the center of the county, and is a thriving town, with a population of about two thousand. It has good railroad facilities, good schools, and its public improvements will compare favorably with other towns of equal population.  There are quite a large number of Friends in Hamilton county. They have done much to develop the resources of that section.
