History

The city was named for a local mill operated during the early 19th century by James Taylor Jr, the founder of Newport.

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.
