history
The village was founded in 1761 by the Olomouc Prince-Bishop Maximilian von Hamilton and is named after him. Stones from the Dědice castle ruins were used to build the first houses . The first land register was created in 1764. Until 1784 the village was called Hamiltonky in Czech usage . In 1791 there were 174 people in Hamiltony; In 1834 there were 199. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the episcopal rule of Wischau .
After the abolition of patrimonial Hamilton formed from 1850 a district of the community Dědice in the district administration Wischau. By 1880 the population grew to 297 and in 1900 374 people lived in the place. This trend continued and in 1910 there were 451 people living in Hamiltony. In 1921 the village had 478 inhabitants, in 1931 there were 476. In the course of time the village grew to the north on the left bank of the Velká Haná. During the German occupation in 1940, the decision was made to expand the Wischau firing range into a large military training area for the Wehrmacht . Hamilton was one of the 33 villages to be evacuated for the construction of the Wischau military training area in the first stage to be completed by March 31, 1941. The 569 residents were forcibly evacuated from the village's 85 houses. After the end of the Second World War, the place was settled again from June 1945 and at the same time incorporated into Vyškov. After the Březina military training area was built in 1951 , the large prefabricated housing estate sídliště Víta Nejedlého was built east of the village, in which the Vyškov Military Academy and the administration of the military training area are located. In 1991 the village had 312 inhabitants. Hamiltony belongs to the Dědice cadastral district and in 2001 consisted of 130 houses.
