The history of Taylor Borough is an interesting journey dating back beyond the 1800’s. It is our intention at TaylorBorough.com to provide it’s visitors with an informative recap of our community.
Historically it is reported that the Borough of Taylor had been named for millionaire, Moses Taylor.
Taylor was the owner of the Delaware , Lackawanna and Western Railroads.
Some of the monies he accrued throughout his lifetime were dedicated to building a hospital, which today bears his name, Moses Taylor Hospital, in nearby Scranton PA. The hospital was constructed in 1892 for the treatment of the sick and injured coal miners and railroad workers who populated the area.
Originally, Taylor Borough, was named “The Union”. Later it was decided to rename to community to honor Moses Taylor by renaming the community “Taylorville”. In the early 1900 the name was again changed, due in part from the United States Postal Service to Taylor.
It is unclear if Moses Taylor was ever actually in Scranton or Taylor, but he left a dramatic impact on the communities by sharing his fortunes with much of Lackawanna County. He was a resident of, and spent much of his life in New York City.
