The town's name came from its first postmaster who also owned the local general store. He would often tell people to "stop over and see" him.[citation needed]
The town is home to a small country store and four churches: Shepard Memorial Presbyterian Church, Stopover Church of God, Stopover Freewill Baptist Church, and Camp Creek Pentecostal Church.
