Hanover Historic District
Hanover Historic District, Historic district in Hanover, Pennsylvania
The Hanover Historic District spans 885 acres in York County, containing 2,632 buildings that represent the central business and residential sectors of the town.
Richard McAllister established the town in 1763 after purchasing land, building a log home, store, and tavern at the intersection of Baltimore and Middle Streets.
The district includes Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and Pennsylvania German vernacular architecture, with most structures constructed between 1870 and 1946.
Five major roads intersect in the district center, maintaining the original street layout from the town's founding for modern navigation and exploration.
Thomas Jefferson spent a night at the Sign of the Horse inn in 1776 while traveling to the Continental Congress when Hanover had numerous log structures.
