Hanoverton is a village in western Columbiana County, Ohio, United States. The population was 354 at the 2020 census.[6] It is approximately 25 miles (40 km) miles east of Canton and 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Youngstown.

History

Hanover House, a saltbox house built in 1820, is part of the Hanoverton Canal Town District[7]

Hanoverton was laid out in 1813 by Quaker abolitionist James Craig, and incorporated as a village in 1836.[8] Hanoverton experienced growth in the 1830s by the building of the Sandy and Beaver Canal through the town, reaching a peak population in the late decade of around 2,000 inhabitants.[9] Growth slowed into the 1840s, and by the 1852 completion of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad the canal was no longer profitable and the town declined.[10]

Hanoverton played a part in the Underground Railroad. An underground passage connected George Sloan's "Brick Row" with his brother-in-law Dr. James Robertson's home across the street, where runaway slaves were taken to a secret room.[9] The Spread Eagle Tavern also was connected to a secret tunnel. In 1977 a 23-acre area of Hanoverton was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Hanoverton Canal Town District. The district is noted for canal-era architecture which is largely unchanged since construction in the mid-1800s. More recently, the town has hosted various political speakers, including Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, John McCain, and JD Vance at the Spread Eagle Tavern.[11][12]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.70 square miles (1.81 km2), all land.[13]

Hanoverton lies south of Salem and west of the county seat of Lisbon.
