Hamilton Park is a popular neighborhood west of Lancaster City. Surprisingly, many city and Lancaster County residents aren't familiar with this beautiful neighborhood. Hamilton Park is a place that has a strong neighborhood feel. Many residents have lived in the same house for decades. Streets are quiet, with children riding bikes and people relaxing on porches.
The neighborhood was originally housing built for workers at the Hamilton Watch company. The Hamilton Watch company was founded in 1892. At the time, railroads had a need for extremely accurate and reliable watches. Hamilton made their watches to this high standard, and continued to be one of America's top brands until 1969 when it was bought by a Swiss company.
The old watch factory tower is one of the most recognizable properties in Lancaster County. On the western edge of Lancaster city, Hamilton Watch Company tower is now a condominium. The transformation from a factory to residential real estate is a success story of historic preservation in Lancaster.
