Hamilton Cleanup and Restoration

When Water-Fire-Storm Damage Happens in Hamilton, We're Ready.

Hamilton is a city in Hancock County, Illinois. The city is located directly across the Mississippi River from Keokuk, Iowa. Hamilton is the largest city in Hancock County. Hamilton was laid out in 1852 by several men in the area, including Samuel Gordon and Bryant Bartlett. Gordon, furnished a 160-acre tract of land. This land was purchased in 1833 by his father, John, for $150.00.

Artois Hamilton, of Carthage, was also active in the early history of the town. Mr. Hamilton was thought to hold money bags of considerable size, so the new town was named “Hamilton”, in the hope that the honor might induce him to ‘shell out’. Other names were presented and discussed, including “Bartlett”, ‘Rapids City’ and ‘East Keokuk’, but the possible contribution of money was the clear winner in identifying a name for the town.

Hamilton was officially incorporated as a town in 1854, and then re-incorporated as a city in 1859. Artois Hamilton, for whom the town was named, was also active in the early history of the town. John Gordon — was the first settler in 1883. Mr. Gordon, his wife Elizabeth, and their two sons traveled from New Hampshire and built the first log cabin at 240 North 9th Street. The site of the old homestead can still be viewed today.
