Hometown is the town where you come from. Birthplace is the place where you were born. Born is the past of birth. Someone famous who was born in a town (because his mother went to the hospital there) would be remembered in that town because it was his birthplace. But the town where his family lived would be his hometown - even though he was born in a town five kilometres away.
