Settlement first began around what is now Hilton in 1805, when Jonathan Underwood, a hale and husky Vermonter, staked a claim on the east crest of South Hill.
Town records first mention Hilton in the year 1809, when it was known as "Unionville." (The village has had as many names as a chameleon has colors.
At a special meeting June 29, 185, at 9 a.m., the Incorporated Village of North Parma was created, and on July 28, 1885, at the home of Mr. Elam A. Cross (now the Wm. Newcomb residence) the first village Board Meeting was held.
To eliminate this confusion, in 1896 the citizens decided, after a long discussion to call the village "Hilton." "Hilton" was chosen, Mr. Newcomb says, not especially to honor the former Baptist minister, the Rev. C.A. Hilton, but mainly because "it was a nice sounding name."
