Hanover was chartered in 1761, and is the home of Dartmouth College. Dartmouth and the Town of Hanover are woven together in architecture, spirit, and culture. Located on the beautiful Connecticut river, Hanover is the archetype of a New England college community.

Hanover is located with the geographical region known as the "Upper Valley", which lies halfway up the length of New Hampshire and Vermont along the Connecticut River.

The Upper Valley is a great place to live and work, but there are some very special reasons why native, "near natives" and newer resident call the Upper Valley home. It is a quiet place...the pace is slower than lots of other places. Low levels of crime, noise, and pollution contribute to a sense of being safe. The work ethic is strong and signs of independence and pride are all around. The beauty of the landscape, mountain and valley views, pastures and dense woodlands, rivers and lakes, stone walls, rural and village character, and the quality of fresh air and water combine to make this place special. changing seasons...melting snows and emerging buds of spring, summer's colorful flowers and ripening hayfields...the crisp, refreshing air and brilliant colors of fall and the excitement of winter's first snowfall keep us in touch with the land. The charm of this valley can be found in its history, cultural sophistication, socioeconomic and political mix, good neighbors, spectacular beauty and educational and recreational opportunities. The Upper Valley...a very special place to enjoy...for a day, a leisurely weekend, or a lifetime.
