History
The community was named around 1883 for early settler Albert J. Hooper. As of 2007, the population of Hooper was about 21.
Geography
The community is located in the Palouse Region, which is known for its rolling hills and wheat production.
Hooper is located along the southern bank of the Palouse River, which serves as the boundary between Whitman County and Adams County.
