The Town of Hanover is a pastoral/suburban community in Plymouth County
which was first settled in 1649 and incorporated in 1727. The town's early
economy was based on agriculture and lumbering. The lumber was used for
house building and shipbuilding while other early industries included grist
mills and iron forges. By the 18th century, the town had made itself a
very self-sufficient community on a sturdy agricultural and industrial
foundation, with a wealth of water power resources and a shipbuilding
complex on the North River. Hanover was in fact one of the major
industrial centers of southeastern Massachusetts at the time. Thirty ships
were built in 1801 on the North River and the town's anchor forges made the
anchors for the United States Navy and are said to have supplied the anchor
for the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, a market for larger ships than
the North River could hold ended the shipbuilding industry in Hanover.
The town was the site of the invention of the first tack-making machine,
and making tacks and fireworks were among the industries of the later 19th
century for Hanover. These manufacturing jobs brought immigrants from
Lithuania and Poland, who established their own settlements within the
town. However, the most significant post-civil war movement was toward
residential subdivision development as the main roads from Brockton and
Boston were improved in the 20th century. Residents are proud of the Four
Corners Section of Hanover, which retains its authentic period village
character, and of their close-knit and friendly town.
Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Norwell on the north and east, Pembroke and
Hanson on the south, and Rockland on the west and northwest. Hanover is about 17
miles north of Plymouth, 23 miles southeast of Boston, and 220 miles from New
York City.
