---

It has a resident population of only 1,500 or so today, although this will increase when several new upmarket apartments, are completed by 2003. Hamilton is now 177 acres in size, much more than when first established. Many inhabitants by day prefer to live beyond the city. But they come to it daily for employment, as it has more than 90 percent of all the employers in Bermuda. About 13,500 persons - 40% of Bermuda's working population work in the city. Bermuda's capital since 1815, when it replaced the much more historic Town of St. George in the east end of Bermuda - it hosts the Bermuda Government, with its many buildings, army of civil servants, large number of elected and appointed politicians, cruise and cargo ships. It is one of the two local container ports and the hub of Bermuda's international business administration.
