Hamilton Parish is the second most eastern parish of Bermuda just west of St George.

Hamilton city which is located 8 miles away in Pembroke Parish has nothing to do with Hamilton Parish. Many tourists confuse the city to be part of the parish.

In the early days Hamilton Parish was known as Bailey's Bay. It was later named after James Hamilton, the 2nd Marquis of Hamilton, who made large investment to colonize the parish in early 1600.

Hamilton parish circles around the Harrington Sound water area and has many deep water limestone caves and subterranean passages.
