History

Copperas Cove received a much-needed boost in the early 1940s, when the United States government chose southeastern Coryell and northwestern Bell counties as the site for Camp Hood, a new military training center. It is located on the western edge of Fort Hood.

It all began in the 1870s as a rural community centered around a small store about two miles southwest of the present townsite. A feeder route of the Chisholm Trail passed through Copperas Cove, making the cattle industry of primary importance to the local economy. Copperas Cove is a city in Bell County, Texas Coryell County, Texas and Lampasas County, Texas Counties in the US state of Texas. By the 1940s only 356 residents remained.
