The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Taylor is a town in Geneva and Houston counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. Taylor was first settled in the 1870s, named after an early family that helped secure the first post office. It was not incorporated until almost a century later in June 1967. It is part of the Dothan, Alabama Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2020 census, Taylor had a population of 2,262.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 2,375 to 2,262 (-5%). Half of its homes were built before 1987.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Taylor yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.
