According to local reports, the Swedenborg Settlers colony, a communal living experiment akin to La Réunion, was located here in the 1880s. Most of the participants left once the project failed. German settlers may have given the town of Hanover, which received a post office in 1890, the name of their old residence. By 1892, there were 25 people living in the village, along with a general shop, a gristmill, and a gin. In 1906, the Hanover post office was shut down.
