The history of Copper Canyon Texas 75077 is found in a variety of sources including wiki: The first white settlement in the area that would become Copper Canyon TX occurred in the 1840s. One of the more prominent settler families was that of Elisha and Mary Chinn, who came to Copper Canyon Texas from their original home in North Carolina in 1852. They helped establish the first church in the area, a log-cabin chapel which eventually became known as the Chinn's Chapel Methodist Church. The church is still active on what is now known as Chinn Chapel Road, Copper Canyon TX 75077.

Homes in the town of Copper Canyon TX gradually grew with cattle ranching as the mainstay of the local economy and real estate. The railroad came to the Copper Canyon area in 1881, and the first public school was constructed in 1884. The town apparently got its name from "Copperhead Canyon," a part of the Texas area formerly known for poisonous snakes.
