Hamilton was part of (and served as seat for) Wentworth County since its creation in 1816.
By 1851, the county acquired its final composition of townships: Ancaster, Barton, Beverly, Binbrook, East Flamborough, West Flamborough, Glanford and Saltfleet.
In the second half of the 1800s, Hamilton became identified and self-identified with heavy industry, billing itself as the Ambitious City and the Birmingham of Canada.
