Copping was gazetted as a locality in 1968.[2]

Part of the Bream Creek district, it was named after Captain Richard Copping, who purchased a property here from George Moore in 1860 upon which he settled three of his half-brothers as tenant farmers. Captain Copping established his own property Rochford Hall nearby at Kellevie.

Copping Post Office opened on 1 October 1886 and closed in 1988.[3]

Properties were destroyed in Copping during bushfires in January 2013.[4]
