Chick Springs (as the area was once known) was first settled in the early 1800s.

Settlers were drawn to the natural healing powers of the spring waters. Dr. Burwell Chick, a resident of Charleston, purchased the land around the spring and built a resort community that operated on and off from the 1840’s until the 1920’s.

When the Southern Railway first came through the area in the 1870’s, the cultural center shifted from the springs to the property of a man named Alfred Taylor. A depot for the railroad was built on his land, and this depot, eventually turned into Taylor’s Station, earning the community its name.

The heart of Taylors existed near the present day intersection of Taylors Road and Main Street beginning in the early 1900’s. As civic life continued to shift up the road from Chick Springs, the pulse of the community beat much as always until development began on a new venture in the early 1920’s.
