Origins
Origins
The origins of the name "Coopernook" seem to be obscure. One theory is that it is an Aboriginal word meaning "elbow" or "bend in the river", and another is that a cooper or cask maker, employed by an early pioneer named Kitz made so much noise hammering and knocking, that the settlement acquired its name from "Cooper's Knock", which then became "Coopernook".
