Hamilton has yet to put a famous person on the list

Across Iowa, the lists cover 439 towns. Waterloo’s 61 names make the longest list in Iowa. After Waterloo, the next longest list in Iowa is Iowa City’s, with 54.

Who’s listed here

Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Hamilton), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Hamilton has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
