Hamilton is an unincorporated community in Olive Township, St. Joseph County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [1]
Hamilton was originally called Terre Coupee, and under the latter name was platted in 1837. [2] The name of Hamilton comes from Hamilton's Tavern the community once contained. [2] A post office opened under the name Terre Coupee in 1831, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1893. [3] When the town was renamed, the "Terra Coupee" name was transferred to a station on the railroad south of Plainfield. [2]
