==History==
[[File:Pennsylvania Koppel factory.jpg|thumb|left|[[Orenstein & Koppel]] factory ''c.'' 1913.]]
Koppel was named after Arthur Koppel of [[Orenstein & Koppel]], which was a German manufacturing company that owned 558 acres of land in nearby [[Big Beaver, Pennsylvania|Big Beaver Township]] by 1907. In 1912, Koppel was established as a borough. The next year, Orenstein & Koppel donated land to the new borough for school and municipal buildings. After most of the town was confiscated by the [[Office of Alien Property Custodian]] from Orenstein & Koppel in 1917, much of the property was sold to the Koppel Industrial and Equipment Company. Other manufacturing companies had a presence in Koppel—the Pressed Steel Car Co. from 1919 to 1937 and [[Babcock & Wilcox]] during the 1950s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Koppel Borough|url=http://bchrlf.org/archives/beaver-county-municipality-facts/koppel-borough/|publisher=Beaver County Historical Research & Landmarks Foundation|access-date=December 28, 2016}}</ref>
