About Hamilton
Hamilton is a river city in New Zealand's Waikato, built along a broad bend of the Waikato River, with well-known gardens and dairy land all around.
Hamilton straddles the Waikato River, the longest in New Zealand, which curves through the city between grassy banks and walking paths. It began as a military settlement in the 1860s and is now the country's largest inland city. The Hamilton Gardens, a series of themed gardens drawn from different cultures and eras, are the best-known sight, and the Waikato Museum faces the river.
