HistoryEdit
Founded in 1909 by real estate developer O.D. Jarrell, along with E. C. Haeber, the town was settled at the intersection of an old stagecoach road and the Bartlett Western Railroad that was under construction. Soon after the railroad was completed, a saloon, two stores, a post office, and a bank were built. Because of the proximity of Jarrell to the railroad, Jarrell received all of the people and most of the buildings of nearby Corn Hill, Texas, thus killing that town.<ref name=Escape1>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=Escape2>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The city reached a population peak of 500 residents in 1914. The closing of the railway in 1935<ref name=TSHA>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and the decline of the cotton industry, however, led to a long-term recession. At one point, Jarrell had only 200 residents. After this low point, the city experienced a recovery that increased its population to 410 by 1990. Over 15 new businesses opened in Jarrell in 2009.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
