WHOM - Thomas Foster Hamilton, a pioneering aviator, was the founder of the Hamilton Standard Company, introduced one of the earliest all metal aircraft with then designer James McDonnell (later McDonnell Douglas aircraft), introduced Frank Caldwell's revolutionary variable pitch propeller, built the iconic Burbank airport, helped William Boeing (a life long friend) start his aviation business, and was a driving force in creating the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club.

RESIDENTS - Lake Arrowhead, having been a focal point for Hollywood and various notable businessmen from Southern California since not long after its inception, has seen Hamiltair prove equally prolific over the decades. Entertainers, comedians, actors, musicians, celebrities, land developers, jet aviation founders, businessmen, professionals, and a bit more have all called Hamiltair "home" at various times - as many do today. It is with great pleasure long time residents can confirm a humble, neighborly community transpired regardless.

HAMILTAIR & POINT HAMILTAIR - Often confused even in books covering the history of Lake Arrowhead, Point Hamiltair is an exquisite gated community that was developed later in the 1970's by a real estate developer and resident of Hamiltair. The original intent was to expand the opportunity for others to also share in even a portion of the Hamiltair mountain experience. As multiple developers later engaged Point Hamiltair's development, the direction and character of Point Hamiltair is somewhat different adding to the incredible variety Lake Arrowhead provides.
