Since 2001, the city limits of Hamilton include the former rural and semi-rural municipalities of Ancaster, Flamborough, Dundas, Stoney Creek and Glanbrook.

The Niagara Escarpment crosses the municipality parallel to the Lake Ontario shoreline.  Much of the north-west portion is still wooded and the landscape is dominated by many large, provincially signficant swamp wetland complexes.  The densely forested Dundas Valley, extending due west of the built-up part of Hamilton, is also highly significant from an envionmental point of view.
