Great article. The Hanover Arcade name deserves more recognition as the first neighborhood in Syracuse to be a business and banking district. Multiple great historic banks. And also the edge of the Erie Canal where barges dropped off goods and moved them through buildings with entrances on the Canal side and into the park area. https://www.syracuse.com/living/2026/06/downtown-syracuse-preserves-hanover-squares-190-year-legacy.html We do love our Historic Neighborhood. Thank you to Johnathan Croyle and syr.com for the recognition of the Great History Hanover Square holds.
No one knows why it is called Hanover Square, but the little triangle in Syracuse has a remarkable story to tell.
