First Here (2008)

Author: Margaret Houghton

When were streetlights first introduced to light Hamilton streets? Or, when was the first movie shown? Coming forward a few decades, when did Hamilton get a glimpse of their very own television programming? These are just a few of the stories in First Here, a look at when things first happened in Hamilton. The firsts are not necessarily the first in Canada, or even in Ontario, although in many cases, that is how it is recorded in history.
