The town was started in April 1909 on the east side of No Moccasin Lake. Originally named Roseland, [7] Hamill was renamed for Gail Hamill the pioneer merchant, postmaster and banker in town. [8] In 1909 the Milwaukee Road surveyed a route from Oacoma, South Dakota through Roseland and beyond but the line was never built. [9]

Carrie Ingalls (sister of Little House on the Prairie's Laura Ingalls Wilder) was transferred to the local newspaper; Roseland Review in 1910, from Pedro, South Dakota. [10] [11]
