The first written mention of Francops comes from the year 1235, but the origin of the village is assumed to be earlier, in the middle of the 12th century. The name refers to a man named Franko or Franke as the founder of the town. The addition -cop or -koop comes from Middle Dutch and goes back to settlement officials who, on behalf of the manorial system, recruited colonists, who often came from the Netherlands in the southern Elbmarsh. On August 1, 1932, Frankop was incorporated from the dissolved district of Jork into the district of Harburg. In 1937 Francop, like some other communities in the Prussian district of Harburg, became part of Hamburg through the Greater Hamburg Act

Many houses are in the immediate vicinity of the dyke and were partially submerged in the 1962 storm surge.
