History
The post office at Hooper was known as Garrison from January 26, 1891, until July 17, 1896. The present name honors Major S. Hooper, a railroad official. Hooper was in Costilla County, Colorado until March 8, 1913, when the formation of Alamosa County was authorized by the state legislature.
In 1964, human remains, believed to be those of a Native American of probable Ute origin, were discovered by a local farmer in Hooper.
