Hamilton is situated in a naturally rich area and was one of the first places settled in Victoria. It was initially established as a pastoral settlement leading to an early consolidation of wealth. The community are divided fairly evenly between a rural and urban lifestyle. The current population is aging, with 56% over fifty, and declining due to an emphasis on urban development and diminishing pastoral incomes.
