Coopersville is a city located in north central Ottawa County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 4,275 at the 2010 census. It is primarily a farming community. Once home of singer Del Shannon. Del Shannon was born Charles Weedon Westover in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, on December 30, 1934. He died in California in 1990. Stop at the museum downtown to learn more about Shannon and other things Coopersville.
One other thing that Coopersville is know for is the Coopersville-Marne Railroad. Coopersville bought a section of railroad tracks between the two cities and several old passenger cars and restored them. So if you have ever wanted to go back in the past when people took trains to get places, stop by and take a ride.
