A post office operated at Monitor from 1863 to 1888.[2] The Loope post office operated from 1898 to 1908.[2]

The place was originally named from the nearby Monitor Mine, which in turn was named for the Civil War naval vessel.[2] It was renamed in honor of a Dr. Loope who resurrected the mining industry locally with the influx of investments from the east coast.[2]
