Taylor is centrally located along two major highways and is just 30 miles northeast of Austin. In the 1870s the International & Great Northern Railroad was under construction in central Texas. One station along the way was to be Taylorsville, named after a railroad official. In anticipation of the new station, the Texas Land Company laid out streets, a park, a town square and lots were sold. Prices ranged from $20.00 to $350.00. In 1876, the railroad reached Taylorsville and the new town grew. Today this town is known as Taylor.
