Great Cacapon (/kəˈkeɪpən/ kə-KAY-pən) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Morgan County in the U.S. state of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. As of the 2010 census, its population was 386.[2] The town developed primarily after its establishment as a depot on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad around 1842, during the railroad's expansion from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia to Cumberland, Maryland.[3] It lies four miles down Cacapon Mountain from the Panorama Overlook along Cacapon Road (West Virginia Route 9) west of Berkeley Springs.
