City Founded in 1869 By G. H. Hollenberg
The town of Hanover in Washington county, was laid out by G. H. Hollenberg in 1869. It was incorporated in 1872. It is situated in the fertile valley of the Little Blue river, and contains 500 inhabitants. Its success and prosperity was largely due to the energy of its first proprietor, G. H. Hollenberg, aided by Judge Kalhoefer, Dr. Moll, and its energetic pioneer merchant, August Jaedicke. The first paper printed in the town was in the spring of 1871, and was edited by W. Bowman, called the Hanover Ledger.
Mr. Hollenberg came to Kansas in 1855. He was one of the first settlers of the county, and (as before mentioned) laid out the town of Hanover. He was born in Germany and made his first settlement in 1857 in Hanover. He had traveled much; he was liberal and generous, honest and public-spirited. Through the poverty and trials of the early settlers, his purse and hand were ever open to the poor. They came to his crib, and he gave them corn and bread without money, and in a new oountry he furnished them seed. In public life he filled positions of trust, at one time representing the county in the legislature. He was also for many years county commissioner. He was the father of Washington county, and his life and means were devoted to the development of his town and county. The last crowning act of his life, when he died upon the high seas away from friends, kindred and home, in the effort to turn the tide of immigration from his Fatherland to ours, was one of noble heroism, and pure devotion to our interests. A martyr himself, even through his death, he provided the means to build a Hall for the city of his adoption. May his virtues ever be cherished in our memory as .a bright oasis in our history.
In 1875, the mayor was Judge Kalhoefer. There were four dry goods stores, kept by August Jaedicke, Helman Brothers, Williams Collins, and Hallowell, Cox & Co.; one drug store, kept by Dr. L. Moll, two first class hotels, by H. Marquard and W. Gilson, one saddler’s shop, three blacksmith and wagon shops, two physicians, one school house, post office, also the headquarters of the Hanover Independent. One city hall, one German hall, two grain houses, one kept by Shedd, Berns & Co., and the other in the interest of Lone Mound Grange, several restaurants, two churches, Catholic and Lutheran.
August Jaedicke, jr., was the first white child born in Hanover. He lives in Hanover today and is an insurance agent. He also carries the mail from the train to the post office. His father used to bring the mail to Hanover from the Pony Express Station at the Hollenberg ranch.

When my insurance company ripped me off recently, Im sure they expected me to just roll over and take it - but guess what, its a brave new world now.
If you rip someone off, they can and will get the word out on you and you will lose business. Hope you are insured :-)
