St. John's is the mother church of Hanover Parish which was established in 1776-77. The church was built in 1843 following the relocation of the courthouse to a more central location in King George County, the boundaries of which were realigned in 1776 to cover the area between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. At that time, St. John's was the only church in Hanover Parish. In 1859 Rev. Alexander Shiras became rector. Though he was from the north, Mr. Shiras stayed with the church after the Succession; however, when the Protestant Episcopal church of the Confederate States was organized, he felt he had to resign and did so in 1862. The parish was vacant from then until 1869. The church has seen continuous service since.
