Hanover History, Parks & Community Life
Hanover County combines a long colonial and Revolutionary history with continued residential growth. Formed in 1720 from New Kent County, its communities range from historic villages and a railroad town to newer neighborhoods and larger rural properties. For households moving into the area, that creates a wide range of residential settings, community layouts and things to do close to home.
Patrick Henry and Revolutionary Hanover
Hanover County was the birthplace of Patrick Henry, who argued the Parsons' Cause at the historic Hanover Courthouse in 1763. The courthouse, the Old Stone Jail and the nearby Hanover Tavern still stand, and Henry's former home, Scotchtown, is open to the public. Hanover also has connections to the early life of statesman Henry Clay. Additional information is available through the Hanover County Historical Society.
Civil War Landmarks and Ashland
Three Hanover battlefields, Cold Harbor, Beaver Dam Creek and Gaines' Mill, are part of Richmond National Battlefield Park, and Mechanicsville sits along the Chickahominy River. Ashland began as a railroad resort and has been home to Randolph-Macon College since 1868; the town has two National Register historic districts and a visitor center in a restored 1923 train station.

For apartments and townhomes, ask your building manager about elevator reservations, loading areas and permitted moving hours.
