Geography Īccording to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 8.10 square miles (20.98 km 2), including 7.88 square miles (20.40 km 2) of land and 0.23 square miles (0.58 km 2) of water (2.79%). Originally encompassing large portions of Morris County and parts of both Sussex and Warren County, Hanover Township became too unwieldy for a single local government and municipalities split off from the township over time.Įast Hanover was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1928, from portions of Hanover Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 9, 1928, that split off both East Hanover Township and Parsippany–Troy Hills from Hanover Township. This geographic effect led to the early name of East Hanover, 'Hanover Neck.' Since the creation of Hanover Township in 1720, its size has been considerably decreased as the population of the area has increased. The boundaries of East Hanover are defined by the joining of two rivers, the Whippany River to the west and north and the Passaic River to the east and north. The Township of Hanover was established on December 7, 1720, and named in honor of the British King George I of the German dynastic House of Hanover. The North American headquarters of Mondelez International (parent company of Nabisco) and the pharmaceutical company Novartis are located in East Hanover. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 11,105, a decrease of 52 (−0.5%) from the 2010 census count of 11,157, which in turn reflected a decline of 236 (−2.1%) from the 11,393 counted in the 2000 census.
