Hanover Builder

The area of Hanover was first settled by English settlers in 1649 when William Barstow, a farmer, built a bridge along the North River at what is now Washington Street. When Barstow settled the town, he constructed a cabin that was located off of what is known today as Oakland Avenue (formerly Back Street). The land was the westernmost portion of the town of Scituate, and it would officially separate and be incorporated as a town June 14, 1727. The name "Hanover" is probably a tribute to King George I, the first Hanoverian King of Great Britain.

While George I died on June 11, 1727, the reports would not have reached the colonies until after the town's incorporation. The origin of the name "Hanover/Hannover" however, comes from the Middle Low German ho or hoch meaning 'high', and over meaning 'bank' or 'shore'.
