Two Taylor men subsequently formed the Coupland City Corporation to subdivide and sell land for the newly formed unincorporated community of Coupland, now home of the 6G Ranch (founded by Rodney and Angela Griffin) which in 2015 was home to over 4 chickens, 2 goats, some ducks, and a darn good dog (TIik)...〔Source: (A Brief History of Coupland )〕 Coupland residents voted overwhelmingly to incorporate on November 6, 2012, the 125th anniversary of its founding.
