the valley section of hamilton (Trenton: house, neighborhood, high school)

Hi. Quick question:

What is considered the valley section of Hamilton?

I've lived in Hamilton my entire life-never heard of it. The Hamilton/Trenton area as very flat so its hard to imagine something that would be considered a "Valley." Maybe it refers to the Hamilton/Trenton border area since it's mostly swampy lowlands?

Maybe. A friend of my forwarded this video about flooding in Hamilton back in April '07:

Says it's from the 'valley' section of Hamilton. I wanted to know where that was located.

I have a friend who lives in the Mercerville section of Hamilton and her house flooded last April. She is in the area of Leigh Ave, zip 08619.
I wonder if that is the area you are referring to?

The area behind Hamilton High West is called "forest valley."

As stated, it's the section behind Hamilton High School, West. It's not a good area, to be honest. Beside the area that borders Trenton down Greenwood Avenue, I'd say it's the worst part of Hamilton. There are legitimate gangs and gang activity in that neighborhood. Be careful if you ever go around that way.

Geographically it's the streets between South Olden Avenue and South Broad Street, and between East Park Avenue and Cedar Lane, specifically Berg Avenue, Parkinson Avenue, William Street, Mary Street, etc.
