Hamilton: Butler County Seat on the Great Miami River
Hamilton sits along the Great Miami River about 20 miles north of Cincinnati and serves as the seat of Butler County. The city grew from Fort Hamilton, a military outpost built in 1791 during the Northwest Indian War. Industrial development followed the opening of the Miami and Erie Canal through the city in 1827, and by the late nineteenth century Hamilton was a center of paper manufacturing, safe building, and machine tool production.
Champion Paper operated one of the largest paper mills in the country on the west side of the river from 1894 until the mid-2010s. The Mosler Safe Company, based in Hamilton from 1874 until its bankruptcy in 2001, built the vaults that held the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution at the National Archives. Mosler also supplied the safe that survived the atomic bomb at Hiroshima.
Hamilton added an exclamation point to its name in 1986 in a marketing campaign intended to distinguish itself from other Hamiltons around the world. The modification was never widely adopted beyond city signage. The Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum north of town displays more than 70 large-scale outdoor sculptures on 300 acres of rolling terrain.
