The story

How Taswell came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Taswell.

Read it all →

A post office was established at Taswell in 1882, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1996. It was intended that the community be named for the Laswell family of settlers, but when the postal authorities misspelled the name Taswell, the new name stuck.
