Hanoverton is a village in western Columbiana County, Ohio, United States.

[6] Hanoverton was laid out in 1813 by Quaker abolitionist James Craig, and incorporated as a village in 1836.

[8] Hanoverton experienced growth in the 1830s by the building of the Sandy and Beaver Canal through the town, reaching a peak population in the late decade of around 2,000 inhabitants.

[9] Growth slowed into the 1840s, and by the 1852 completion of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad the canal was no longer profitable and the town declined.

An underground passage connected George Sloan's "Brick Row" with his brother-in-law Dr. James Robertson's home across the street, where runaway slaves were taken to a secret room.

The district is noted for canal-era architecture which is largely unchanged since construction in the mid-1800s.

More recently, the town has hosted various political speakers, including Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, John McCain, and JD Vance at the Spread Eagle Tavern.

[11][12] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.70 square miles (1.81 km2), all land.
