History
Not much is known about this specific area before its annexation by the United States in the 19th century. In 1854, the region was included in the Kansas Territory. After Kansas was inaugurated as a state on 29 January 1861, the Taylor region and the rest of Colorado was left as unorganised territory until the creation of the Colorado Territory by outgoing US President James Buchanan. During this period, the area was first settled and used for cattle. On 1 August 1876, Colorado was admitted as the 38th US state. During the 1970s, Taylor itself was developed with a new neighbourhood. On 10 March 2021, Taylor was annexed by Winterspell.
