According to Singapore Street Names1, Hamilton Road is yet another road in the Lavender neighbourhood that was named after one of the World War I generals, in this case it was Sir Ian Standish Hamilton, the British general who led the Gallipoli expedition. However, there is also a possibility that the road was named after one Walter & Hamilton, a partner of Hamilton, Gray & Company at Battery Road. There is also a Hamilton Road in Penang, but that road was named after a headmaster of the Penang Free School.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
