A Look at Taylor's Past
Taylor got its name from its very first postmaster, a person named Jeremiah H. Taylor. A postmaster is the person in charge of a local post office. The post office in Taylor was open for a few years, from July 26, 1895, until May 4, 1899. Back then, post offices were super important for people to send and receive letters and packages, especially before the internet and widespread phone use.
