Hooper is a city in Dodge County, Nebraska, United States.

Hooper was established in 1871, following construction of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad through the territory.

The Chicago & North Western (C&NW) (successor to the FE&MV RR) tracks were experiencing mildly declining freight traffic levels.

In spring of 1982, flooding from the Elkhorn River & nearby Pebble Creek damaged the track.

With the declining freight traffic levels & flooding damage, the C&NW promptly filed a request with the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon the line.

However, a bridge north of Nickerson was deemed unsafe to cross in 2003; as a result, FEVR embargoed train service through Hooper.

[citation needed] In summer 2021, the tracks were dismantled as part of an effort to construct a bike path following the old railroad route.

The racial makeup of the city was 99.27% White, 0.12% African American, 0.24% Asian, and 0.36% from two or more races.
