The small town of Cope was named after Jacob Martin Cope, who sold a piece of his farmland for a town and train depot in the 1890s. The Cope Depot was built in 1894 for the Manchester & Augusta Railroad, and was later used by the Atlantic Coast Line.

The tracks are still in use, but the depot ceased operations in the 1960s. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is still considered the center of town, where locals can meet and visit.
SCIWAY thanks Ann Helms of Spartanburg for this great historical information and picture she took in 2010.
