History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Taylor County was created in 1856. It was named for Zachary Taylor, twelfth President of the United States of America, who served from 1849 to 1850. Taylor won most counties in northern Florida during the election of 1848. He was largely responsible for the ultimate U.S. victory in the Second Seminole War. He also served in the War of 1812 and the Blackhawk War, and he was one of America's main heroes in the Mexican-American War.
