Pope County was established in 1862 and named in honor of General John Pope, a local surveyor. Stockholm was selected as the county seat until 1867 when it was moved to Glenwood. Early industry was dominated by agriculture as many settlers arrived to farm the fertile soil. Railroad expansion allowed for growth and by 1900 its population had reached 12,577. Today Pope County is home to approximately 10,995 residents.
