The first automobile appeared in Hamilton Township in 1899. On September 3, 1902, an ordinance was passed reducing the speed of automobiles from Twelve miles per hour to Eight miles per hour, with a fine from $15.00 to $20.00 for violation. Numerous complaints had been received that automobiles were speeding through the township at Ten miles per hour.
