Major M.J. Tabor settled here in 1873 and 12 families were soon living here three years later. A general store was then built in 1884. A post office was established at Tabor inside the general store in 1888 and named the community after himself. The second floor of the building held WoodmenLife meetings and eventually became a dance hall and a recreation center. In 1896, the community had two general stores, a mill, and a gin. It became a postal and business center for other nearby communities such as Blanton, Alexander, Cottonwood, and Walker. Original settlers of the community were Bohemian, German, Anglo, and Black. Italian settlers soon followed around 1900. A cotton gin was built in 1908. Tabor had four businesses, several scattered homes, a church, a cemetery, and 30 residents in 1940. The population grew to 60 in 1950, 90 in 1965, and 150 from 1970 through 2000. Geography
