Hanover Square is a square with a public park in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It is triangular in shape, formed by the intersections of Pearl Street and Hanover Street; Pearl Street and a street named "Hanover Square" itself (whose opposite side of Pearl continues as Hanover St.; and William Street (northern continuation of "Hanover Square" street) and Stone Street. The side between Hanover/Pearl intersection and William/Stone intersection is a pedestrian pathway along the building front facing the square and Pearl Street. Most surrounding buildings are primarily commercial.
For many years, Hanover Square was the center of New York's commodity market, with the New York Cotton Exchange at 1 Hanover Square, on the square's southwest corner; the New York Cocoa Exchange, now the New York Board of Trade; and others nearby. The square was also known as "Printing House Square". The Great Fire of New York broke out here on December 16, 1835, decimating much of Lower Manhattan.[3] 3 Hanover Square, a former home to the New York Cotton Exchange, and 10 Hanover Square, a former office building, were converted to residential use.
The fourth phase of the Second Avenue Subway is proposed to extend subway service to Hanover Square.[9]
