Capital of Bermuda


Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda. Although there is a parish of the
same name, the city of Hamilton is in the parish of Pembroke.
The city is named after Bermuda's first governor Sir Henry Hamilton.

In spite of being the administrative capital of Bermuda, Hamilton only
has a permanent population of approximately 969, although some
estimates have it as high as 1,500.

Hamilton is the only incorporated city in Bermuda, but actually is smaller
than the historic town of St. George. A more representative measure of
Bermuda population tends to be by parish.

City Hall


Hamilton history began in 1790 when
the Bermuda Government set aside
145 acres for the future seat of Bermuda
government.

The city was officially incorporated in
1793 by an Act of Parliament.
