Hamilton Boyd was an American politician who served as mayor of Portland, Oregon, in 1868-69. He is thought to have come to Portland in 1860, worked as an assistant county clerk, and later worked as an accountant in the Ladd & Tilton bank. He was elected to a two-year term as county commissioner in 1868 and served as mayor from 1868 to 1869. He was elected mayor on June 16, 1868,[1] and assumed office later that month. He was succeeded as mayor by Bernard Goldsmith in 1869.[1]
Sources differ on when Boyd died, with at least one source saying he died in Portland in 1886,[2] while The Oregonian reported that he died in March 1883.[3]
