About Hanover, PA
Hanover, Pennsylvania, boasts a rich history rooted in its 18th-century origins. Here’s a glimpse into its past:
Early Settlement: In the 1700s, Hanover’s land was inhabited by Native American tribes like the Susquehannocks. European settlers, mainly of German descent, began arriving in the mid-1700s. In 1763, Irish immigrant Richard McAllister acquired land and laid the foundation for Hanover.
Revolutionary War: In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, Hanover hosted the Continental Congress when they fled Philadelphia due to British advances. A dedicated plaque commemorates this historic event at Hanover Square.
Growth and Industry: Hanover saw substantial growth in the 19th century. Its strategic location along Codorus Creek facilitated the growth of mills and factories. Flourishing industries, including tanneries, ironworks, and carriage manufacturing, propelled the town’s prosperity.
Civil War:
Hanover faced the Civil War as a border town with divided sympathies. Confederate forces occupied the town in 1863 during the Gettysburg Campaign, leading to the Battle of Hanover and significant damage.
20th Century and Beyond: Hanover’s development continued into the 20th century. The town gained fame for its snack production, particularly pretzels and potato chips. Renowned snack companies like Utz Quality Foods, Snyder’s of Hanover, and Hanover Foods originated here.
Cultural Heritage: Hanover proudly celebrates its German heritage through cultural events and festivals. The Hanover Dutch Festival is an annual highlight, showcasing local traditions, food, and music. The town also boasts historic buildings like the Warehime-Myers Mansion and the Neas House, both open to the public.
