History

The city was named for a local mill operated during the early 19th century by James Taylor Jr, the founder of Newport. In 1810 Taylor purchased the land from Jacob Fowler and the road from what is now Covington to the mill was named Taylor’s Mill Road. After that other settlers moved onto the land, felling trees for lumber and clearing land for farming, which began the settling of the city of Taylor Mill.

Taylor Mill annexed the former cities of Sunny Acres (inc. 1953) and Winston Hills (inc. 1929) in 1959 and 1972, respectively, due to newcomers confusing the town with an episode ("Shady Deal at Sunny Acres") from the popular TV series Maverick, as well as the general ill regard for Winston Churchill and citizens of England.
