==History==
[[File:George Coppell.jpg|thumb|left|125px|George Coppell]]
The Coppell area was settled by German and French immigrants in the 1840s. Members of the [[Peters Colony]] also settled here in the 1840s.<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> Originally named Gibbs Station, after [[Barnett Gibbs]] (one of Texas's first lieutenant governors), the town was renamed in 1892 for George Coppell, a New York banker, who was born in [[Liverpool]], England and probably moved to the United States circa 1859. He was reportedly heavily involved with the final construction of the local railroad line. Popular belief is that he was an engineer, but little or no evidence supports that claim.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wilson |first1=Wheelice (Pete) Jr. |title=Information about Coppell's Probable Namesake, George Coppell |url=http://www.coppellhistoricalsociety.org/uploads/1/2/3/5/123514922/george_coppell_summary_document_-_by_pete_wilson.pdf |website=coppellhistoricalsociety.org |access-date=8 July 2023}}</ref>

In 1955, the community was incorporated through a ballot measure that passed by a vote of 41 to 1. Spurred by the opening of [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]] (DFW Airport) in 1974, the city was radically transformed from a tiny farming village to a large, upper-middle class suburban community in the 1980s and 1990s. By 2000, almost all of the residentially zoned land in the city was developed, and the population grew to over 35,000. In addition to suburban homes, the city has a growing commercial base of warehouses and transportation centers on the south and west sides of the city, closest in proximity to the airport.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|38.0|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|37.3|sqkm|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.8|sqkm|order=flip}}, or 2.00%, is covered by water.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov |title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Coppell city, Texas |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=January 12, 2012 }}</ref>

Coppell occupies the northwest corner of Dallas County and lies in proximity to DFW Airport. A portion of the airport property is within the city limits of Coppell. It is bordered on the west by [[Grapevine, Texas|Grapevine]], on the north by [[Lewisville, Texas|Lewisville]], on the east by [[Carrollton, Texas|Carrollton]], and on the south by [[Irving, Texas|Irving]] and Dallas.

[[Coppell Independent School District]] (CISD) is responsible for the kindergarten–grade 12 education of the majority of the City of Coppell's children.

[[Lewisville Independent School District|Lewisville ISD]] serves the northernmost section of Coppell falling in Denton County, including the Coppell Greens subdivision. This area is north of State Highway 121.

All of the elementary schools in the Coppell Independent School District are rated "exemplary" by the [[Texas Education Agency]] (in 2008), as are Coppell Middle School North and Coppell Middle School East. Coppell Middle School West, Coppell High School, and the district as a whole are rated "recognized". New Tech High received an "exemplary" ranking in its first year, the 2008–2009 school year. Riverchase Elementary (in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, but located in Coppell) is rated "recognized". Students from that school go on to attend the Barbara Bush Middle School and Ranchview High School in neighboring Valley Ranch. They are rated "academically acceptable" and "recognized", respectively.

The Coppell ISD was ranked as the top music program in the United States by the Music Educators Association in 2000. In August 2001, Coppell voters approved a sales tax increase to provide funding for arts in the school district. The Coppell High School Marching Band won the Texas 4A [[University Interscholastic League|UIL]] championship in 1999 and finished third in 5A in 2009. The Coppell Middle School North Band won the Texas state championship in 2006, 2011, and 2016. The Coppell Middle School East band finished fourth in state in 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tmea.org/divisions-regions/band/honor-band/history |title=Honor Band History |publisher=Tmea.org |access-date=April 23, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150423132234/http://www.tmea.org/divisions-regions/band/honor-band/history |archive-date=April 23, 2015 |df=mdy }}</ref>

Coppell High School's news program, KCBY-TV, has won several national awards for their work with video production. The KCBY broadcast department features local stories reaching out to the community in the school, as well as the community outside of school. The KCBY sports department offers a live broadcast of all of the athletic home games<!-- needs confirmation as it is out of date and will soon broadcast away games also, along with live commentary by the sports crew of the news program -->. The Head of KCBY is Irma Kennedy, who had worked with NBC prior to taking the job. In the summer of 2010, KCBY got an estimated $500,000 worth of new equipment, as it prepared to take on the challenges of a live broadcast in spring 2011. The news program also features a movie-related segment every week featuring new upcoming movies and more. {{cite web |url=http://kcbycoppell.com |title=KCBY Coppell|date=February 2024}}

New Tech High at Coppell’s film program, NT Fuze, has had several of its productions accepted to major film festivals, including [[South by Southwest]] and the [[Dallas International Film Festival]]. NT Fuze provides students a chance to learn the art of filmmaking and use the latest production tools. NT Fuze produces quality content not only for New Tech and Coppell ISD, but also for local businesses and organizations.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}

==Transportation==
Coppell is next to the northeast corner of DFW Airport. No freeways go directly through the city, but the entire perimeter is served by [[Texas State Highway 121|SH121]] and the [[Sam Rayburn Tollway]] (west and north), [[Interstate 635 (Texas)|Interstate 635]] (south), and the [[President George Bush Turnpike]] and [[Interstate 35E (Texas)|Interstate 35E]] (east).

Coppell offers [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|ADA]]-compliant [[paratransit]] through an agreement with [[SPAN Transit]], based in neighboring Denton County.<ref>{{cite web |title=SPAN Transit |url=https://www.coppelltx.gov/670/SPAN-Transit |website=The City of Coppell}}</ref>

Coppell has no general-use public transportation. It was a charter member of [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]] (DART), but voters elected to withdraw from DART in 1989. This election remains controversial today, as the city had a much smaller population in the 1980s. Since Coppell borders DART member cities Carrollton, Dallas, and Irving, it can rejoin at a later date if it wishes, but implementing the mandatory 1% sales tax would require cutting other city services.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tax |url=https://www.coppelltx.gov/248/Tax |website=The City of Coppell}}</ref>

DART's planned [[Silver Line (DART)|Silver Line]] [[commuter rail]] system will pass through Coppell.<ref>{{cite web |title=DART Silver Line |url=https://www.coppelltx.gov/608/DART-Silver-Line |website=The City of Coppell}}</ref> While Coppell's lack of membership means that a station cannot be built in it, the [[Cypress Waters station|Cypress Waters]] station will be located in an exclave of Dallas that borders Coppell.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cypress Waters |url=https://www.coppelltx.gov/678/Cypress-Waters |website=The City of Coppell}}</ref> It is unclear whether Coppell will connect to the station via transit, which would require making a special agreement with DART or a third-party transit provider.
