Hanover, PA

Hanover is a York County borough with a deep colonial land history and a strong old-town center. John Digges received a large Maryland land grant in 1727 in the area that became Hanover, and the Hanover Historic District still gives the borough a recognizable architectural core. Local history sites like the Neas House add texture, while snack food manufacturing has helped define the modern economy. Hanover feels historic, industrious, and very south-central Pennsylvania, with brick streets, factories, farms, and Maryland close by.
