The Peter Hamilton Agricultural Works operated in Peterborough from 1848 to 1954. It was founded in 1848 by James Hamilton. After James Hamilton's death, his son Peter Hamilton (born January 11, 1841) took over the business. In 1901 the company was incorporated as the Peter Hamilton Manufacturing Company. The product line of this company included agricultural implements such as mowing machines, horse hay rakes, feed cutters, ploughs and horse-drawn threshers. Peter Hamilton had an active life in public servive. He was a member of Peterborough town council, served on the public school board and was on the board of management of St Paul's Presbyterian Church. Peter Hamilton was also president of the West Riding Liberal Association. He died suddenly on October 3, 1912 and is buried in Little Lake Cemetery.
