This article describes the Economic History of Hamilton, Ontario. ==Beginning== In the beginning, the Head-of-the-Lake (Present day Hamilton) was covered in forest. In 1815 a chopping mill became the first industry in the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/205/301/ic/cdc/industrial/intro.htm )〕 Growth of the area was aided in 1827 by a channel cut to link Burlington Bay directly with Lake Ontario, thus improving its marine transportation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/200/301/ic/can_digital_collections/cultural_landmarks/twps.html )〕 In 1833, George Hamilton's settlement was incorporated as a police village. On January 8, 1833 the Legislature passed a further act "To define the limits of the Town of Hamilton, in the District of Gore, and to establish a Police and public market therein." When the Town of Hamilton was incorporated in 1833, one of the first orders of business, after a closely fought election where 3 out of the 4 candidates had no opposition, was to find a suitable place for the town board to meet. For the first few years they made do with meeting in local taverns such as ''Thomas Wilson's Inn'' on the corner of John and Jackson Streets. Also in 1833 (February 16), ''The Garland'', a local newspaper, published a synopsis, Hamilton contained "about one hundred and twenty dwelling houses and upward of one thousand inhabitants" and then went on to list 4 public buildings, 7 taverns, 16 stores, 2 watchmakers, 2 saddlers, 4 merchant tailors, 4 cabinet makers, 4 boot and shoe makers, 2 bakers, 4 newspapers, 1 druggist, 1 tin and sheet iron manufactory, 1 hatter and 3 millineries.〔
