The Copano were also known as the Cobane, Copane, Coopane, and Kopano Indians.[1]El Copano Port was named for the tribe, who lived in the area in the 18th century.[2]
History
Between 1751 and 1828, the Kopano interacted with the
Nuestra Señora del Rosario and Nuestra Señora del Refugio Missions.[1]
Those that survived the mission era likely merged into other Karankawa groups, but by 1858 all Karankawa tribes had died off.[1]
