GREAT CACAPON, WEST VIRGINIA

'Great Cacapon' is an unincorporated hamlet in Morgan County in the U.S. state of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. According to the 2000 census, the Great Cacapon community has a population of 1,379 [1].
Great Cacapon takes its name from the Cacapon River which empties into the Potomac River to the town's east. It was originally known as 'Cacapon Depot' on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline when a post office was established here in 1848. In 1876, its name was changed to 'Great Cacapon' to differentiate it from Little Cacapon which was also on the B&O mainline. It lies four miles down Cacapon Mountain from the Panorama Overlook along Cacapon Road (West Virginia Route 9) west of Berkeley Springs.
