Our History
The Town of Hamlin was created as the "Town of Union," but was renamed in 1861 as the Town of Hamlin in honor of Lincoln's first Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. Hamlin was initially a part of the town of Northampton. The town of Murray split from Northampton in 1807, and split again into Union and Clarkson on December 14, 1852. The North Star School District No. 11 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Posted March 16, 2021

To help reduce spring brush fires, the NYS DEC has issued a Residential Brush Burning Ban.

This is in effect from March 16, 2021 thru May 14, 2021.  According to the DEC, open burning is the single greatest cause of wildfires.

Here are the exceptions: 

  • Campfires under 3 feet tall and 4 feet long, wide, or around.
  • Small cooking fires
  • Ceremonial or celebratory bonfires
  • In the few examples where fires are allowed, they cannot be left unattended and must be fully extinguished.  They must burn only charcoal or clean, untreated, or unpainted wood.

Late Fees for Dog Licensing

Posted January 21, 2021

At the January 11, 2021 Hamlin Town Board meeting, the Town Board adopted accruing late fees of $5.00 each month for dog licenses that are not renewed within 30 days of their annual renewal date. This will be effective beginning February 15, 2021.

The costs for dog renewals will remain the same. Unaltered dogs are $17 and Spayed/Neutered dogs are $9. The purpose of the late fees is to encourage timely renewals. Dog Licensing helps ensure that dogs are vaccinated against rabies. The Town of Hamlin considers rabies to be a serious public health issue.  The late fee on dog licenses is another tool to ensure that dogs are vaccinated and that vaccinations are kept current.

Governor Cuomo Announces $43 Million for Monroe County

I am very pleased to announce that the Town of Hamlin will receive $8.3 million from the Governor's REDI program. The hours and hours of meetings and phone calls have been sucessful in securing this very important funding for Hamlin. I am very happy to have accomplished this for the residents of the shoreline. This is the silver lining to the dark cloud.  

$7.9 million is for a sewer system that will include the entire lakefront from the State Park east to Townline Rd. providing public health protection, economic benifits in terms of property values and enhances water quality at our shoreline.  

$400,000 is for barrier bar installation at the terminus of Townline Rd to help maintain access, protect from wave action and enhance public safety for roads in 2 towns. 

Informational meetings, timelines, and other details will be coveyed shortly as the projects come together.
