Hanover Township, one of thirteen townships in the county, is located in west-central Butler County, Ohio, United States, midway between Hamilton (the Butler County seat) and Oxford. It had a population of 8,311 as of the 2010 census, up from 7,878 in 2000. It is named for Hanover County, Virginia, where the early settlers originated. Statewide, other Hanover Townships are located in Ashland, Columbiana, and Licking counties.
The twelfth in order of creation, Hanover Township was erected from Ross and St. Clair townships by the Butler County Commissioners (James Blackburn, John Wingate, and William Robison) on December 2, 1811, with these boundaries:
The township consisted of one full survey township in the Congress Lands, and had an area of 36 square miles (93 km2) before the city of Hamilton annexed about 4 square miles (10 km2) of the township on its eastern edge. About half the village of Millville is in Hanover Township (the remainder is in Ross Township). The unincorporated community of McGonigle lies in the township's northwest.
