Hoopes Brothers & Darlington was a firm that produced wooden wheels. It was founded by brothers Thomas Hoopes (1834-1925) and William Hoopes (1830-1917) on their farm about a mile northwest of West Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1866. Initially, they manufactured spokes for wagon wheels from local timber. In 1869, they established a factory in West Chester proper and, within three years, were manufacturing complete wooden wheels. In time the firm became the largest establishment of its kind east of the Allegheny Mountains.

By 1893, the firm was producing 40,000 sets of wheels per year. In 1898, it installed an automatic bending machine. At its peak, the factory employed between 175 and 200 workers. As the automobile began to replace horse-drawn vehicles, the company moved into the production of wooden-spoked car wheels, but around 1920 it refused to convert to the manufacture of steel-rimmed wheels. The company continued to occupy a specialty niche, relying in part on its proximity to Amish communities, where carriages were still common. It remained a small family business, most notable for being the last wooden wheel manufacturer in America. The firm was down to seventeen employees by 1972, and closed in the mid-1970s. It also tried to expand into the manufacture of skis, toboggans, and baseball bats.
