Hamilton's first significant settlement was by loyalists from the American colonies in 1778. In 1830 Hamilton was linked by the Burlington Canal to Lake Ontario, making the city a port. Today Hamilton is a city of 323,000 and is known as the steel capital of Canada.
Hamilton has excellent theatre, a Philharmonic Orchestra, and an opera company.
Every year the Hamilton International Airshow is held on Father's Day. Take in the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
Visit Hess Village, a collection of restored houses with galleries, restaurants and speciality shops. Go to the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Museum and the beautiful Dundurn Castle.
Also worth the trip is Whitehorn National Historic Site and the outstanding Royal Botanical Gardens at Burlington.
