MORE OF FIRST HERE
Edited by Margaret Houghton
There have been many firsts in the history of Hamilton, some all but forgotten while others are well documented or living on only in our own memories. Some of the firsts are with us still while others are long gone. More of First Here continues the story of some of the well known as well as some of the all but forgotten first things and events in our history.
Lions, animal protection, museums, radio broadcasting, aviation by balloon and manned flight, automobiles, politicians of all stripes, Santa Claus, singing dentists, transportation, newspapers, Tim Hortons, Royal gardens, raucous rock concerts and many other cultural, technological or social innovations have made Hamilton what it is today.
