Loope (formerly Loopeville and Monitor) is an unincorporated community in Alpine County, California, United States. It is located on Monitor Creek[2] at an elevation of 6188 feet (1886 m).
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]
