Town of Hanover, Massachusetts was established in 1727, a little over 100 years after the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, 17 miles to our south. We have maintained our “country town” atmosphere over the years, yet combined it with the convenience of shopping malls, light industry, and, of course, technology.
Today’s population of nearly 15,000 still allows room for open space and woodlands, and most homeowners enjoy sizable lots, often with stone fences left over from a bygone era. Ponds, streams, and rivers, which join the historic North River as it flows to the Atlantic Ocean, provide both summer and winter recreational opportunities. Credit resourse info hanover-ma.gov
