History

Hamilton was the first county seat of Monroe County. In 1830, Monroe County was split to form Lowndes County to the south, and the county seat of Monroe County was moved north to Aberdeen.

The original town of Hamilton was located approximately two miles east of its current location. The town likely moved when the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad was built in the late 1880s.
