Center was laid out in 1852.[3] It was originally named Tampico, after the Mexican port, but because there is another Tampico in Jackson County it was renamed Centre (later Center) for its central location in the county.[4]
Educationedit
Center is served by the Taylor Community Schools Corporation.[1] Taylor High School competes in the Hoosier Heartland Conference (HHC) for athletics.
