Stockport was a station on the railroad.[4] It was likely named for its livestock trade.[5]
Stockport became a town on the C, I and E Railroad, and by 1901 was considered "a little town" on the rail line.[6] A post office was established at Stockport in 1892, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1914.[7]
Stockport was the home of William "Bill" McKinley, the cousin of U.S. President William McKinley, who owned a general store in the community during the early 20th century.[6]
In 1940, the population was 15.[3]
