Taylor

Taylor is a suburban city in Wayne County, Michigan, situated southwest of Detroit. The community features residential neighborhoods, schools including a high school and charter options, a community college campus, and recreational green spaces.

The area was established as a township in 1847 and incorporated as a city in 1968, taking its name from the twelfth U.S. President. This shift marked its transformation from a rural community into a modern suburb near Detroit.

Heritage Park stands at the heart of the community, where residents gather year-round for sports, walking, and fishing. The park's historic structures reflect how the place has grown from its rural past into a family-oriented suburb.

The city is well-served by schools and a community college campus spread across its neighborhoods. Visitors can easily explore different areas and spend time outdoors in the parks and recreational spaces available throughout.

Each August, youth baseball teams from around the world gather to compete in the Junior League World Series held here. This annual event brings together young athletes and families from different continents, turning the city into an international gathering point for youth baseball.
