Cradle of Hamilton Industry
It’s not a stretch to say that Hamilton wouldn’t be the same without the North End. The impact of the hydraulic canal can’t be overstated. It powered early Hamilton industry and positioned the city for success in those transitioning years from frontier outpost to “the greatest manufacturing city of its size in the world.” Some of the most significant manufacturers in Hamilton’s history were here.
