About location

Built around the early farm settlements of the Wyoming Valley, Hanover Township grew into a suburban and industrial community in northeastern Pennsylvania. The township lies near the Susquehanna River, between Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke, in a region whose development was long tied to anthracite coal mining. Interstate 81 is a principal north–south route through the area, linking the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre urban corridor with destinations across the state and beyond. Wooded slopes, commercial development and major road connections reflect the rolling terrain at the edge of the Appalachian Plateau. Hanover Township is part of Luzerne County, where residential neighborhoods and transport infrastructure occupy the broad valley floor beneath surrounding hills.

Region Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
