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.

SANDBAGS

There have been concerns brought to the attention of the Building Department that many of the sandbags that were placed on properties during the flood event of 2017 are now deteriorating to the point that the bags themselves are compromised due to weather exposure and are shredding and pieces are blowing around.  It is asked that all residents check their sandbags and to remove/replace them as necessary.
