The Appalachian Trail crosses the town, connecting following a number of trails and birds preserves.

Most of the population resides in the Hanover census-designated place (CDP)—the main village of the town.

Hanover was chartered by Governor Benning Wentworth upon July 4, 1761, and in 1765–1766 its first European inhabitants arrived, the majority from Connecticut. Although the surface is uneven, the town developed into an agricultural community. Dartmouth College was established in 1769 next to the town common at a village called “the Plain”—an extensive and level tract of estate a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the Connecticut River, and practically 150 feet (46 m) above it.
