Hamilton

City in the southwestern corner of Ohio, on the Great Miami River, 19 mi/30 km northwest of Cincinnati; seat of Butler County; population (2000) 60,700. Its industries include livestock processing and the manufacture of metal products, motor-vehicle parts, security equipment, paper, and building materials.

The city was built on the site of Fort Hamilton, constructed in 1791 by General Arthur St Clair and used as headquarters by General Anthony Wayne during his campaign in the Northwest Territory (1792-93). It developed rapidly after the construction of the Miami-Erie Canal in 1827 and was incorporated as a city in 1857.
