What it’s like
The place. Hanover is a small Ohio village in Licking County, and most of the homes there are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property also giving many of them a living. Among the largest workplaces in Hanover are Licking Valley Local Schools and Armstrong Steel Erectors, a bridge construction firm. Commutes are fairly long, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve, a protected area, sits in or beside town. A short drive away are Dillon State Park, another protected area, and Flint Ridge State Memorial, a museum. For an evening out, the Midland Theatre is also a short drive away.
