About location

The landscape around Hanover Township is a wooded stretch of the Wyoming Valley, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The township lies in Luzerne County in northeastern Pennsylvania, within the broad Susquehanna River valley. Interstate 81 is a principal north–south route here, carrying regional traffic past slopes and roadside woodland; development is concentrated on the valley floor rather than the surrounding higher ground. This is coal-country territory: anthracite mining was central to the economic history of the Wyoming Valley and nearby Wilkes-Barre. Luzerne County was created in 1786. Hanover Township remains part of an urban area whose settlements, highways and former industrial lands follow the contours of the valley.

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.
