Great place to live
Named the sixth best place to live in America in 2011 by CNN and Money magazine, Hanover is a town of just over 11,000 people and home to Dartmouth College.
Because of the presence of the Ivy League college, Hanover has a cultural and social feel that's often not found in communities so far from major population centers. For example, the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth has more than 300 live events and films annually that attract 22,000 visits from students and community members.
With almost a foot of snow that falls four months of the year, Hanover is a true four-season community that offers fun for the body and brain throughout the year.
