Coppell is a city in the U.S. state of Texas that is located in the northwest part of Dallas County. Located in the greater Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, it is a suburb of Dallas and a bedroom community.
At the time of the 2010 census, the city's population was 38,659 people. A minor fraction of the city's extreme northern portion stretches into neighboring Denton County and Corinth TX, but this is a rare occurrence.
In the 1840s, German and French immigrants arrived in the Coppell area and established themselves. In the 1840s, members of the Peters Colony came to live in this area as well.
While the town was originally known as Gibbs Station, after Barnett Gibbs (one of Texas's first lieutenant governors), George Coppell, a wealthy English financier who immigrated to the United States in the 1880s and was reportedly heavily involved with the final construction of the local railroad line, was given its current name in 1892.
Although it is often believed that he was an engineer, there is little or no evidence to corroborate this assertion.
When the community was incorporated in 1955, it was done so through a ballot question that was approved by a margin of 41 to 1.
Spurred on by the building of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW Airport) in 1974, the city underwent a dramatic transformation, going from a small farming community to a major, upper middle-class suburban enclave in the 1980s and 1990.
