Hill was born in Eliot, Maine, the son of Miriam (Leighton) and William Hill.[2] He graduated from the Medical School of Maine (Bowdoin College) in 1877 and completed his residency at the Long Island College Hospital Medical School, but practiced medicine only a year. In 1879 he became a member of the law firm (later a publishing house) of J.F. Hill & Co. in Augusta, Maine. He was active in many railroad, steamship, telephone, and banking enterprises.
He was best known as a Republican politician, serving as a member of the Maine House of Representatives in 1888–92, of the Maine Senate from 1892 to 1896, and of the Executive Council in 1898–1899; and he was the 45th Governor of Maine from 1901 to 1905. He was acting chairman in 1908–1911, and chairman in 1911–1912, of the Republican National Committee.
