Why you'd want to live in Copperas Cove

Welcome to Copperas Cove, “The City built for Family Living”. Our friendly community, nestled between five hills in Central Texas, is a wonderful place to call home! Founded in the 1870’s as a small rural ranching and farming community, Copperas Cove has now grown to be the largest city in Coryell County with more than 30,000 residents. The name Copperas Cove was inspired by water from a nearby spring that had a mineral taste. Two major events occurred in Copperas Cove’s history that gave a boost to the local economy and the population and improved Copperas Cove’s fortunes. These were the expansion of the railroad into the area in the late 1880’s and the construction of Camp Hood (Fort Hood) in 1942. Neighbor to Fort Hood on the West, and centrally located in the heart of Texas on Highway 190 between IH-35 and scenic US-281, Copperas Cove is a great place to start a new business or relocate an existing one. Copperas Cove, a city with a proud heritage and a bright future, is dedicated to improving the quality of life for its citizens. Pleasant neighborhoods are located throughout the city with many options in sizes, prices and architectural designs of homes. There are many choices for buyers seeking a home for a small family, a growing family or one with an abundance of plush amenities. Prime locations, such as areas with views of the hill country or overlooking a golf course, have been developed into prestigious neighborhoods with executive homes. Rural living is also available. Many developments surrounding the city provide homes with acreage. Wild turkey, deer, armadillos and roadrunners are a common sight in the rolling hills surrounding Copperas Cove. The wildlife, large oaks and mesquite sage and cacti form a picturesque scene of country living, yet the conveniences of the city are only a short distance away. via hcopperascovetx.gov
