Taylor, on the banks of Silver Creek, is
in a broad, flat valley in east-central Arizona. With the Mogollon Rim
and White Mountains to the south and west, the town lies at an elevation
of 5,640 feet. The mountains form an almost continuous barrier
protecting Taylor from severe winters and creating a semi-arid climate.
Taylor was settled by James Pearce and named after John Taylor,
English-born president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. The town was established in 1881 and incorporated in 1966.
Taylor has seven sites on the National Register.
