About Hanover
Hanover is a quiet rural hamlet set among the open farmland between Janesville and Orfordville. Originally founded as Bass Creek, this small Rock County community offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle while staying an easy drive from bigger-town conveniences. Bass Creek still winds past the village, bordered by the Hanover Wildlife Area, which gives locals a scenic spot for fishing, birdwatching, and quiet walks along the marsh. It is a classic southern Wisconsin country setting, ideal for anyone who appreciates open skies, quiet roads, and a tight-knit community feel.
