In the Middle Ages Schopp, together with Waldfischbach, Geiselberg, Schmalenberg and Heltersberg, was under the cloister Hornbach.

From 1818 to 1862 the town was part of the Landkommissariat Pirmasens, which was subsequently converted into a district office.

After the Second World War, the community within the French occupation zone became part of the then newly formed state Rhineland-Palatinate.

Three years later, the town was incorporated into the newly created collective municipality Kaiserslautern-Süd, which was merged into Landstuhl in July 2019.

The development of the population of Schopp, the values from 1871 to 1987 are based on censuses:[3][4] In 1828 the village had 186 Protestant and 19 Catholic inhabitants.
