Lopez is named after Lopez Creek, which was in turn named after roadbuilder John R. Lopez. Originally the village was known as Tar Bridge due to a bridge covered in tar across Lopez Creek. A sawmill was constructed here in 1886, and the railroad was extended to Lopez the same year. Another mill was built in 1888, and Trexler and Turrell built dams to float timber to their mill. A clothespin factory was built in 1894 and burned down two years later, but was rebuilt. As of 1903, Lopez had a population of about 1,000. [3]

Notable person

Lopez is the birthplace of Pittsburgh Pirates player Danny Kravitz. [4]
