Hanna is a small, quiet community located in Duchesne County, Utah. It's not a city with its own government, but rather an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of the larger county. Hanna is also special because it's located within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation.
