Hanover, Wisconsin's 53542 ZIP code represents an unusual postal designation: a Classified as a PO Box ZIP with no PO Boxes. This classification is a legacy marker from the 1980s-1990s when USPS computerized its addressing system. Today, the ZIP contains just a single delivery point on W High St served by one rural carrier route. There are no residential deliveries, no business establishments, and no population within the ZIP's boundaries according to Census data.
The Hanover ZIP is enclosed within the larger 53576 ZIP code (Stoughton), which handles broader regional service. With facility code "N" (indicating a non-standard designation) and zero PO Box count, this ZIP appears to serve a specific delivery purpose rather than functioning as a traditional post office location. The P-classification persists because USPS doesn't systematically reclassify ZIPs, even when service patterns change completely. For mailing purposes, most addresses in the Hanover area use surrounding ZIP codes with full carrier delivery and post office services.
The ZIP contains only one street address: W High St with a single delivery point.
ZIP Code 53542 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
