Mapping and Research for Hamilton County, Indiana
Organized April 7, 1823, Hamilton County was named for Alexander
Hamilton, an aide to Washington throughout the Revolutionary War.
Favoring a strong central government, he was a conservative statesman.
He planned the new nation's fiscal system. He supported Thomas
Jefferson against Aaron Burr and compounded the developing animosity
when he defeated Burr in the New York gubernatorial race in 1804. Burr
challenged Hamilton to a duel that ended in the death of Hamilton that year.
Noblesville, the county seat, was first settled in 1824 and contained a
County Seminary, a Methodist, Christian and Presbyterian church.
There are a number of physical features located in the county, including
the top half of Geist Reservoir and the Morse Reservoir.
Other points of interest are the Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement,
which brings the year 1863 in Indiana to life; and the Museum of
Transport and Communications (at Noblesville), which honors the
inventors and innovators who made much of the early rapid progress
possible.
