About Taylor
Taylor is named after a local merchant, John Taylor, who was an important person in the area. The community sits at an elevation of 994 feet above sea level. This means it's almost a thousand feet higher than the ocean!

For a short period, Taylor had its own post office. It opened on November 30, 1907, and served the community until May 31, 1911. This was an important service for people living there at the time.
