    Was there or is there really a place named Hamilton Beach for which the appliance company Hamilton Beach was named?

    		It took its name from the surnames of two people the founder hired when he started the business, Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach. The company was founded by Frederick J Osius in 1910. See 'History' in the atteched Wikipedia link:

    		While the appliance company was not named for it, there is at least one place named Hamilton Beach, located on Lake Ontario, adjacent to Hamilton, Ontario: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Hamilton+Beach,+Hamilton,+ON&hl=en&sll=54.498365,-115.000188&sspn=18.862331,50.888672&oq=hamilton+beach&t=h&hq=Hamilton+Beach,&hnear=Hamilton,+Hamilton+Division,+Ontario&z=13

    There a small kitchen appliance company called Hamilton Beach. Is there such a place, that it was named after? If so, where is it?

    This place, once a "seeing place," has seen it all: first a stronghold, it's been a walking place, a drinking place, a disbarking place, a swimming place (but not for people), a singing place, and now an embarking place. Oddly enough, never a drumming place, though virtually in a former shooting place that still retains the name. Named for a politician, then renamed horticulturally, it's again named for the politician, no relation to other more recent ones of the same name. Where in the United States is it?
