The township of Hanover, numbered 15, in range 4, is one of the townships of Columbiana which still retain the originally fixed territory of six miles square. It is bounded on the north by Butler township, on the south by Franklin township and Carroll County, on the east by Centre township, and on the west by West township. Within its limits are five villages, to wit, Hanover, New Garden, Gillford, Dungannon, and Kensington, the latter being a station on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad, which crosses the southwest corner of the township.
The surface of the country is undulating and to the eye of the tourist offers many inviting prospects. Hanover, with the townships of Knox, Butler, and West, forms a portion of the "divide" between the waters of the Ohio and those of Lake Erie. The altitude of the valley reaches five hundred feet above the lake level, and still above the valley rise numerous hills, in height varying from one hundred to two hundred feet. Coal is plentiful in this region, but is not mined except for home demand, the greater part of the coal mined being taken out at Kensington depot.
The west fork of the Little Beaver Creek flows through the township southward along the eastern border, and emerges at section 25. The climate is healthful and invigorating, and, particularly among the hills, is conducive to extreme longevity.
EARLY SETTLEMENT
In 1802, Wm. Winder, afterwards, in 1810, a member of the Society of Friends moved from Virginia, with his wife and seven children, into Columbiana Co., Ohio, and settled in East Fairfield. Thence, in 1806, he passed over to Hanover township and located upon a tract of land in section 33 now occupied by Mrs. Isabella McAllister. Winder resided there until his death in 1828. Of his children, Benjamin, a worthy and prominent member of the Society of Friends, resides near Hanover village in his eighty-second year. Rachel Arnold, a daughter, aged ninety, lives in Washington Co., Ohio; and in Carroll County reside Joseph and William, two sons. Mr. Winder's land was entered by John Edgar, who was, however, not a settler.
Winder had no near neighbors on the south; his nearest was Andrew Milburn, of Virginia, who located near where the railroad station at Kensington stands. Milburn was a doctor, shoemaker, carpenter, and farmer and quite a useful man in the settlement. Wm. Rhodes, also of Virginia, was a settler upon section 32, and occupied a farm now the property of Nathan John. Samuel Reeder lived on section 33, near Wm. Winder; and next east of the latter, Benjamin Stackhouse was a settler upon property now occupied by the widow of Cassimer Gaus.
The only settlers in his neighborhood, when William Winder located in Hanover, were Stackhouse, Milburn, and Rhodes; the others named and to be named came in directly thereafter.
