COMMENTS
Probably the quietest County Court in New York State.
ABOUT THE AREA
Hamilton is the second largest county (about 1800 sq.mi.) in New York by area, but has the smallest population, and the lowest population density of the state-just a few more than 5,000 residents live there year round. For perspective, Nassau County (on Long Island) has well over a million people on less than 1/4 the land. The suburban and partly rural Town of <a href="http://www.guilderland-ny.com">Guilderland NY</a> has 35,000 in 60 square miles -- 7 times as many people in 1/30th the space.<br>
It is completely inside the Adirondack State Park, and therefore is a beautifully scenic area: during the summer, it receives more than five times its normal population of vacationers and tourists! Winter brings some skiers too. Wonderful hiking, but be careful.

TYPE OF CASES
Hamilton County Court handles the rare felonies. DWI felonies are perhaps the most common, but still rare.
