History

Samuel Taylor, a pioneer from St. Luke, Heywood, Lancashire, England, had part of his land laid out into village lots in 1880. Other settlers followed suit and pretty soon there was a post office, then a store, and eventually a town. The owner of the post office named the town after Comber, the town in Ireland that he came from.

The following was written of Samuel Taylor in a local paper shortly after his death in 1893:

"SAMUEL TAYLOR'S SPIRIT TAKES FLIGHT"

In 1842 he moved his family from Detroit to the homestead, and for six years he sailed the lakes during the season of navigation, bringing home in the fall his summer wages to assist in supporting his family until the farm was ready to cultivate. He was a hard-working man, sober, honest, charitable and saving.
Mr. Taylor took delight in telling the story of the time when he came into the woods to pick out a lot, together with a man by the name of Thomas Thompson. The latter advised the former to take the north corner of the Middle Road and he would take the south, stating that one or the other would live to see a village spring up in the vicinity. Mr. Thompson did not live to see it, having died many years ago; but Mr. Taylor lived to see a part of his farm divided into village lots; hence he was known to all as the father of Comber.
