In 2001, the new city of Hamilton was formed. The ''Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth'' and its six local municipalities; Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook, ''Hamilton'' and Stoney Creek amalgamated. (January 1) 〔(【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 )〕 Before amalgamation, the "old" City of Hamilton was made up of 100 neighbourhoods. Today in the new megacity, there are over 200 designated neighbourhoods. The first four neighbourhoods in Hamilton were Beasley, Central, Durand and Corktown. Below is a list of some of the more noteworthy neighbourhoods found in the city of Hamilton: ==Lower City (below Escarpment)== * Ainslie Wood () is centered on Alexander Park and located near McMaster University. It is bordered to the north by Main Street and Dundas, to the south and east by Highway 403, and to the west by Dundas and Ancaster. * Bartonville * Hamilton Beach * Beasley, named after Richard Beasley (1761-1842), soldier, political figure, farmer and businessman in Upper Canada. * Blakely * Central, Downtown core + site of Hess Village and Jamesville, which is shared by the Italian & Portuguese communities of Hamilton. Little Racalmuto (Italian) A rich Italian history, where an entire village in southern Italy -- Racalmuto -- immigrated and settled in Hamilton. Today the Italian heritage is strong and is shared with a neighbouring Portuguese population. * Chedoke Park B * Cherry Heights * Chinatown * Community Beach * Cootes Paradise A * Cootes Paradise B * Corktown, Irish settlement on the south east side of downtown. * Corman * Crown Point East * Crown Point West * Delta East * Delta West, where King and Main Streets (normally parallel) intersect. * Dundas * () Durand, historically was home to the 'industrialists'. This south of downtown neighbourhood is quite possibly the largest concentration of early 20c castles/mansions in Canada. The grand homes were home to the families whose names graced the signs of the north end factories. Named after James Durand, businessman and political figure in Upper Canada. (Hamilton) * Gibson, named after Hamiltonian, Sir John Morison Gibson, (1842-1929), who was Lieutenant Governor of Ontario from 1908 to 1914. * Glenview East * Glenview West * Grayside * Greenford * Greenhill * Homeside * () International Village Keith (Burlington and Wentworth area) * () Kirkendall North * () Kirkendall South * Lakely * Landsdale * McQuesten East, named after Thomas McQuesten, (1882-1948), lawyer, politician and government appointee who helped McMaster University to relocate from Toronto to west Hamilton in 1930. * McQuesten West * Nashdale * Normanhurst * North End of Hamilton, has a rich history. Infamous for being a rough neighbourhood dating back to the late 19c early 20c. Many new immigrants called the 'north end' home. The north end is separated from downtown by railroad tracks, that give literal meaning to the phrase 'wrong side of the tracks'. Populated by Irish, Scottish, Italian, Portuguese and later Eastern Europeans that worked in the nearby factories or on the shipping docks. It was home to the blueist of blue collar unionized working class. Teamsters, Longshoremen, United Steel Workers of America, and many other labour unions, organized crime and gambling gave this neighbourhood its character and reputation that became synonymous with Hamilton. * Parkview East * Parkview West * Red Hill * Riverdale East * Riverdale West * Rockton, Ontario * Rosedale (bound by the Escarpment, Lawrence, Red Hill Express, Kenilworth) * St. Clair * Stinson, Named after Thomas Stinson, (1798-1864), merchant, banker, landowner. He was an extensive landowner in not only in Hamilton but as well as Chicago, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Superior City, Wisconsin, which he named. * Stipeley * Stoney Creek, (locally known as the "Crick" or "Tony Creek" from its large Italian population. In recent years first generation Indian and Pakistani immigrants have largely settled in Stoney Creek.) * Strathcona * Vincent, Named after John Vincent, (1764-1848), British army officer in the Battle of Stoney Creek, War of 1812. * () Westdale, originally an upper-class, master-planned neighbourhood from the 1920s, that forbade eastern Europeans, Jews and people of colour from residing there. In later years it ironically became a Jewish neighbourhood with one of Hamilton's three Jewish synagogues. (Another is in nearby Ainslie Wood.) Built around oval streets that surround the centre Westdale Village. * Winona * Winona Park 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of neighbourhoods in Hamilton, Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
