Hanover Street is located in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts.

[1] The street is one of the oldest in Boston, and was originally a Native American path, allowing access to the shore, prior to the first European settlement.

In 1708, the street was renamed after the House of Hanover, heirs to the British throne under the Act of Settlement 1701.

[3] This block was reopened in 2004 when the elevated Central Artery was removed as part of the Big Dig[4] and replaced by the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

[5] Hanover Street is now home to many businesses, cafes, churches, and Italian restaurants.
