Hamilton County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,836,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36/36041.html )〕 making it the least populous county in New York. Its county seat is Lake Pleasant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The county is named after Alexander Hamilton, the only member of the New York State delegation who signed the United States Constitution in 1787 and later the first United States Secretary of the Treasury. The county was created in 1816 and later organized in 1847. Hamilton County is one of only two counties that lie entirely within the Adirondack Park (Essex is the other).

There is no permanent traffic light in the county. ==History== On April 12, 1816, Hamilton County was created by partitioning from Montgomery County,〔New York.
