Ward 2
Ward 2 is the heart of Hamilton’s downtown area and one of the most densely populated and diverse parts of the urban city. Ward 2 is situated at the base of the Niagara Escarpment, what Hamiltonians fondly call the Mountain, and its boundaries are still home to the city’s original 4 communities (established in 1833).
Ward 2 is bordered by the Niagara Escarpment to the south, Hamilton Harbour / Burlington Bay to the north, Queen Street to the west and Wellington Street North / the Claremont Access to the east and is home to the Beasley, Central, Corktown, Durand, North End, and Stinson neighbourhoods.
