Hanover: York County's Snack Food Capital
Hanover is a borough in York County in south-central Pennsylvania, about 15 miles southwest of York and five miles north of the Maryland state line. The population is approximately 15,400. The community was settled by German immigrants in the 1740s and named for Hanover, Germany. It was incorporated as a borough in 1815. Hanover sits at the crossroads of US Route 30 and Pennsylvania Route 94, historic routes connecting York, Gettysburg, and Baltimore.
The Battle of Hanover was fought in the borough on June 30, 1863, two days before the Battle of Gettysburg. Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart clashed with Union cavalry under Judson Kilpatrick and George Armstrong Custer in the streets and surrounding fields. The engagement delayed Stuart's movements and is commemorated with several historical markers around the downtown.
Hanover is widely recognized as a snack food center. Utz Quality Foods, founded in 1921 by William and Salie Utz as a home-based potato chip operation, has grown into one of the largest snack food manufacturers in the United States. Utz's main production facility and corporate offices are still in Hanover. Snyder's of Hanover, known nationally for pretzels, was founded in 1909 and now operates as part of Campbell Snacks following a 2018 acquisition. Herr Foods, based in nearby Nottingham, is another major regional producer.
