The name Huber, is derived from an old German word "hutre" meaning the possessor or guardian of a small tract of land or a farm. which would indicate that the family is descened from a clan of Swiss farmers, as the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, was the original home of the Hubers many of them still residing there, with record that date back more than 800 years. In the course of time the spelling has been changed in various sections, so that we now have the variations of Huver, Hover, Hoober, Hoover, and Hooper. Hans (John) Huber, was one of 1st immigrants to PA, came between 1710 and 1715 settled near the present village of New Holland, Lancaster, then Chester County. There he died in 1750.
