Anyone Wikidata records as born at a place inside Hampton’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), hospitals and districts within it included, whose English or French Wikipedia article confirms it. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are left out. Hampton is also the name of another municipality in New Brunswick: for everyone listed here, Wikipedia gives only “Hampton”, so the other place can’t be ruled out.

Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here at the next refresh.
