Draper railway station, Adelaide
Draper railway station is located on the Outer Harbor line.[1] Situated in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Largs North, it is 17.2 kilometres from Adelaide station.
Draper is one of the few stations in Adelaide not named after a current suburb. Draper was a suburb / locality to the north of Largs Bay Estate and south of Taperoo and Osborne, in what is now Largs North.[2]
One, as yet, unsourced report suggests Draper was named after a drapery that used to exist nearby (corner of Strathfield Terrace and Victoria Road). In the mid 1980s, the drapery closed and the site has housed a number of different shops since including a pet shop and a fish shop. The shop was recently demolished, to make way for housing.
