Drop is an unincorporated community in Denton County, Texas, United States.[1]

The early settlement was a supply point for the surrounding agricultural community.

History

Settlers arrived in the area in 1854 and established towns within a larger community called the Denton Creek Settlement.[2][3] Drop was founded within the Denton Creek Settlement in 1882 and operated a post office from 1886 to 1905.[4] A school was built in 1922 and had three teachers.[4] It operated until 1935, when students began attending school in Justin.[4] The early Drop community had two stores and two churches, and for recreation, residents would go swimming at Drop Crossing on nearby Oliver Creek.[4] The primary agricultural product on the farms surrounding Drop was wheat and Drop was a supply point for local farmers.[4][5]

Business and people from Drop and other nearby communities began moving to Justin after a railroad was built there in the late 1800s.[3] Drop had a population of 38 in 1936 and 30 in 1963.[3]
