Draper, formerly Corral City, is a town in Denton County, Texas, United States. The population was 27 at the 2010 census.[1]

The town contracts with the city of Argyle to meet its police, fire, and court service needs.[2]

History

A woman named Geneva Helton and her husband decided to form an incorporated municipality to allow the legal sale of liquor (Denton County does not allow the sale of liquor county-wide, only by local option). The Heltons bought over Шаблон:Convert of land from a family friend. The two then installed a sewer system and established a liquor store. Corral City incorporated in 1973. Afterwards doublewide trailers and recreational vehicles appeared in the city limits. Candace Carlisle of the Denton Record-Chronicle said that Corral City "prospered" for a decade, but after the early 1990s retirement of Geneva Helton's and the death of her husband, the town, in Carlisle's words, "began a slow decline. Soon, all that remained was a graveyard of rotting doublewides."[3]

According to Carlisle, by 1993, "Corral City looked in every way like a vanquished 'ghost town'." James "Eddie" Draper became the mayor and owner of Corral City. Carlise said that to Draper, "it was a boomtown waiting to happen."

In October 2016, Corral City was renamed to Draper in honor of former mayor James "Eddie" Draper.
