History

Popcorn took its name from Popcorn Creek.[3] A local legend states a visitor from out of town compared the size of local farmers' corn to "popcorn" compared to their own.[4]

A post office called Popcorn was established in 1891, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905.[5]

The town is also known for a brand of kettle corn that takes the name of the town, but the company is not headquartered in the town.[6]
