In February 1980 the neighborhood was the starting point of a national prolonged school boycott in protest of apartheid laws and policies. Although Hanover Park is its own neighborhood separate from Philippi to its south it is situated within the Philippi police precinct area.
Hanover Park currently has a very high crime rate.
