Hamilton (postcode 5373) is a small township in the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. It is about 120 km northeast of Adelaide, South Australia, about 20 km north of Kapunda. Once a stop for the mining carts going from Adelaide to Burra, but now just a small agricultal area.
Hamilton was the birthplace of Albert Percy Blesing in 1879, MP for Northern from 1924-1944. He served as Minister for Agriculture, Local Government and Afforestation in the government of Thomas Playford IV. This now shrinking town used to be a very vibrant one with its own football netball and tennis teams all of which now are non-existent
