Hamilton is a township in Mercer County in west-central New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 88,464 residents. Hamilton is located immediately east of Trenton, New Jersey. (There is also another township in New Jersey named Hamilton, located in Atlantic County, not to be confused with the Hamilton in this article.) Morgan Quitno, a research company based in Lawrence, Kansas, ranked Hamilton Township as the 18th safest city in the United States (out of 369 cities nationwide) in 2005. Attractions in Hamilton include the nationally recognized Grounds for Sculpture. In addition, "Sculptures Along the Way" adorn the landscape between Mercerville and Bromley neighborhoods leading towards the Grounds for Sculpture. Self-guided tour maps of the grounds and exhibition catalogues are available at Hamilton's visitor's center. Touch tours are also available for the visually impaired. The Grounds for Sculpture is a 35-acre park which houses more than 230 outstanding sculptures, gardens, water features, and other nature scenes. Hamilton is also home to one of the largest recreational parks in New Jersey. Veterans Park is 350 acres and borders Mercer County Park to the north that encompasses 2,500 acres. This park contains one of the largest man-made lakes in the state, built from a grant for the Princeton University's crew team to practice and compete. Other attractions in Hamilton include the Sayen Park Botanical Garden and Quakerbridge Road, where George Washington crossed from Princeton on his way to Trenton.

Hamilton Weather & Climate

Central New Jersey has a humid continental climate. Hot, humid summers and cold winters are the norm. The northern edge of this central weather zone is often the boundary between freezing and non-freezing precipitation during wintertime. In summer, it's the boundary between very humid and comfortable conditions. Spring is mild, but erratic. Autumn is sunny with mild days and cool nights. Average snowfall in central New Jersey is 15-30 inches. An interesting note: the concentration of buildings, paved surfaces, asphalt and concrete in the cities serve to retain more heat, and thus affect local temperatures. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "heat island".
