Hanover Township is a township in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 14,677,[8][9] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 965 (+7.0%) from the 13,712 recorded at the 2010 census,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 814 (+6.3%) from the 12,898 counted in the 2000 census.[22] The township comprises the unincorporated communities of Whippany and Cedar Knolls.[14]
Located just north of the historic town of Morristown (separated by a thin strip of Morris Township) and adjacent to the regional Morristown Municipal Airport, Hanover Township offers many public attractions including the Whippany Railway Museum,[23] the Frelinghuysen Arboretum[24] and the Morris County Library. Patriots' Path, a wilderness walkway and bike trail that stretches for 26 miles (42 km), also passes through the township along the Whippany River.[25]
