Jerseyville is a dispersed rural community within the city of Hamilton, in Ontario, Canada. The community was initially known as Jersey Settlement, named by the United Empire Loyalist settlers from New Jersey who settled in the late 1790s, but was changed to its present name in 1852 when a post office was opened.{{cite book|last1=Rayburn|first1=Alan|title=Place names of Ontario|date=1997|publisher=University of Toronto Press|location=Toronto|isbn=0-8020-7207-0|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TwF6AAAAMAAJ|page=171|accessdate=18 October 2017}}
