Hamilton City is located 9.5 miles (15 km) east of Orland, and 10 miles west of Chico at an elevation of 151 feet (46 m). The community is inside area code 530. The default prefix used for wired telephones in the Hamilton City area is 826. The postal ZIP Code is 95951.
The community is located along the Sacramento River near Mile 199. Hamilton High School is in the community.
The large silos of the former Holly Sugar Plant (formerly served by California Northern Railroad) are visible from all over town.
"Las Palmas" (Palm Drive; a.k.a. County Road 16) is well known to locals and is 2.1 miles (3.4 km) long. It connected Hamilton City to the now-defunct Mills Orchards, which were originally the home of James Mills, Sr. and his family.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2), all of it land.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Hamilton City has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csa" on climate maps.
The town began in 1905 with the founding of a large sugar beet processing plant, completed the following year by James Hamilton and the Alta California Sugar Beet Company (which changed its name in 1908 to Sacramento Valley Sugar Company). The plant later belonged to Holly Sugar Corporation and is known to this day as the Holly Sugar Plant. Holly Sugar was sold in 1936 to Spreckels Sugar Company and, in turn, Spreckels was later purchased by Imperial Sugar. The sugar plant closed in 2006, and in 2021 was acquired and renovated by Nutrien Company, a fertilizer producer.
The first post office at Hamilton City opened in 1906. As the town's population grew, to make room for development the local cemetery was moved to a new location about 10 miles north of Artois, California.
