Eupora was established in 1889 by European Americans on a spur track of the Georgia Pacific Railway.

While there had been agricultural development prior to this in the county, the railroad stimulated trade and businesses.

Not given a trial, he was lynched - hanged from a tree by a mob of 200 cheering white people.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 2,018 people, 816 households, and 566 families residing in the city.

WLZA serves as an FM radio station and WEPA (AM) previously broadcast from Eupora.
