Picture was furnished by the Hamilton
Public Library
The first railway to arrive in the town of Hamilton
was the Stephenville North and South Texas Railway Company which
had been organized and chartered on 4
February, 1907. The first train from Stephenville arrived in Hamilton
on Christmas Day, 1907. This railroad connected Hamilton and Carlton
with Stephenville so that Hamilton was no longer dependent
on transfer of goods via wagons from Hico
and Gatesville. This connected Hamilton to all of the major
markets in the United States.
