Mission: is to communicate and preserve the history of the dynamic community of Coppell, Texas which was first settled in 1848. 

Town Name: It has been associated with many names - Grapevine Prairie, Bethel, and Gibbs - but it became known as Coppell in 1890, was officially designated as Coppell in 1892, and was incorporated as a city in 1955.

Society:  Organized in 1991, growing out of what was initially the Old Town Committee, which next became the Coppell Historical District Committee, both city sponsored committees, and finally the independent Coppell Historical Society.

Campaigns:  Trees, Park Road, Cowboy Deli, Kirkland House, Ihnfeldt House, Minyard’s Store, Old Town Coppell Service Station, Old Town Coppell Water Tank, historical markers, and photo & document archives, and genealogical research.
 
Legal:  By-laws,  501-c-3
​We are always looking for old photos, videos, stories, documents, items - anything at all - which might help us better understand the unique history of our town.  Just send us an e-mail at the Coppell Historical Society  or write us.
