It was 1912, Herbie, Charlotte and their children moved back down the river and were the first family to settle in the Flats. Herbie was a ferryman and trapper who maintained a Peace River crossing for fur traders, prospectors and homesteaders heading for the north. For years, he and Bob Barker argued over the name for the Flat. When Herbie left for his traplines, Bob would put up a sign reading 'Barker Flats', and when Bob left, Herbie would put up his sign 'Taylor Flats'. Finally, in 1923, a post office was opened at Taylor's farm and the Flat officially became Taylor.
