The street is named after William Henry Draper, a lawyer, judge, and politician in Upper Canada, which became Canada West. The street was laid out in an 1856 plan of subdivision by J. Stoughton Dennis of lands that were part of the 1794 Garrison Reserve. Draper and Charles Jones are listed as the property owners of the lots to be subdivided for development.
