Draper is one of the few stations in Adelaide not named after a current suburb. Draper was a suburb or 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.[ citation needed ]
On 22 August 2024, a 53-year-old man was struck and killed by a northbound train near the station after assaulting staff at a shop and vet on Strathfield Terrace and stealing a packet of sugar. The line was shut down for hours with trains terminating at Glanville and Alberton. [3] [4]
