From the beginning of the city's history as the western bank of Springfield, Irish families have resided in and contributed to the development of the civics and culture of Holyoke, Massachusetts. Among the first appellations given to the city were the handles "Ireland", "Ireland Parish", or "Ireland Depot", after the village was designated the 3rd Parish of West Springfield in 1786. Initially occupied by a mixture of Yankee English and Irish Protestant families, many of whom belonged to the Baptist community of Elmwood, from 1840 through 1870 the area saw a large influx of Irish Catholic workers, immigrants to the United States, initially from the exodus of the Great Famine. During that period Irish immigrants and their descendants comprised the largest demographic in Holyoke and built much of the early city's infrastructure, including the dams, canals, and factories. Facing early hardships from Anti-Irish sentiment, Holyoke's Irish would largely build the early labor movement of the city's textile and paper mills, and remained active in the national Irish nationalist and Gaelic revival movements of the United States, with the Holyoke Philo-Celtic Society being one of 13 signatory organizations creating the Gaelic League of America, an early 20th century American counterpart of Conradh na Gaeilge.

Among his pupils was John Shea, who would later write Notre Dame's Victory March, first playing it for his former teacher on the congregational church's organ in 1908. Throughout his career Hammond himself would give more than 1,200 local recitals as well as organize and tour Mount Holyoke's Carol Choir to venues across the country, including the White House. Hammond was also a collector of folklore songs, arranging and publishing Christmas carols through the New Haven Carol Society for more than 35 years, as well as most notably being the first musician to formally put the American folk-tune White's Air into print.
