Waterford was founded about 1733 by Amos Janney, a Pennsylvania Quaker. Many buildings still in use in the village were built before 1840. First named "Harmony" in 1833, Hamilton was later renamed to honor Colonel James Hamilton of Waterford, the town's first postmaster and frequent host to George Washington as he traveled through to "Vestal's Gap." Hamilton is a harmonious place to visit and features antique shopping, general stores, a spacious park and playground. Originally known as the "German settlement," Lovettsville developed around the German Reformed Church in the early 1700s. The town's beautiful architecture and variety of country stores are framed in the scenic setting of the Shorthill Mountains.
