In its early days, Hanover was called Digg's Choice or Rogue's Roost, names that originated from the many outlaws who migrated to the area due to the lack of law enforcement that ensued after the Pennsylvania-Maryland boundary dispute. In 1763 Col. Richard McAllister founded the town by drawing up a formal plan; hence it was called McAllister's Town. In order to gain favor with Germans who occupied the land, McAllister named it Hanover, meaning “on the high banks.” The town was incorporated as a borough in 1815. Learn More...
