Copperas Cove History
Copperas Cove was a small rural community in the 1870s. Originally, residents wanted to name the city "Cove," but the postal authorities rejected the name as there was already another city of the same name in Texas. As a result, the community was named Coperas Cove because of the mineral taste of the water in a local spring. The post office of the city was established in March of 1879. The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway first entered the area in 1882. The spelling of the city’s name was formally changed in 1901.
