Historic Hanover

Hanover Courthouse dates back to 1735 and is one of the oldest in Virginia.

Hanover County was formed from New Kent in 1720. At the time, its boundaries included what are now Louisa and a large part of Albemarle County. The dividing line between Hanover and New Kent was based on the parish lines of St. Paul's Parish, established by the Church of England.
