History

Founded in 1909 by real estate developer O. D. Jarrell, along with E. C. Haeber, the town was located at the intersection of an old stagecoach road and the Bartlett and Western Railway that was under construction. When the railroad was completed, a saloon, two stores, a post office, and a bank were soon operating. Due to the proximity of Jarrell to the railroad, the residents of nearby Corn Hill moved to the town. The city reached its peak in 1914, when it had a population of 500. However, the closing of the railway and the decline of the cotton industry led to a long term recession; at one point, Jarrell had only 200 residents. But after this low point, the city experience a recovery that brought its population up to 410 by 1990.[3]

On May 27, 1997, the town suffered from the destructive Jarrell Tornado, which destroyed the Double Creek Estates subdivision.[4]
