Town of Hamilton



Originally know as Harmony, Hamilton began to flourish in 1868 when the Washington and Old Dominion railroad began running from Alexandria to Hamilton, bringing visitors from Washington and Baltimore looking for relief in the cooler summer air of the Loudoun Valley. In 1926, a fire destroyed much of the town's businesses and the frequent summer visitors declined. Today, Hamilton embodies the term "small town America." While visiting, don't miss Lowry's Farm Market, open March-December, which offers fresh produce, seaf
ood, and flowers.
