Conover is a small, quiet community located in Vilas County, Wisconsin, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it's not a big city with its own mayor or city government, but rather a part of a larger town.
You can find Conover about 9.5 miles (15.3 km) north of Eagle River. It sits right along two important roads: U.S. Route 45 and Wisconsin Highway 32. Even though it's a smaller place, Conover has its own post office and uses the ZIP Code 54519.
A Look Back: Conover's History
Conover has a simple but interesting history. The community got its name from a local hotel owner named Seth H. Conover. Imagine a time when people traveled less by car and more by other means, and hotels were very important!
The first post office in Conover opened its doors way back in 1894. This was a big step for the community, helping people send and receive letters and packages, connecting them to the rest of the world.
