About Hove

Hove is a city. Location: Brighton and Hove, England. Population: 75,174. Elevation: 24 m.

From Wikipedia

Hove ( HOHV) is a seaside location in East Sussex, England. Alongside Brighton, it is one of the two main parts of the city of Brighton and Hove. Originally a fishing village surrounded by open farmland, it grew rapidly in the 19th century in response to the development of its eastern neighbour Brighton; by the Victorian era it was a fully developed town with borough status. Neighbouring parishes such as Aldrington and Hangleton were annexed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
