'''Taylor Mill''' is a [[List of cities in Kentucky|home rule-class city]] in [[Kenton County, Kentucky|Kenton County]], [[Kentucky]], in the United States. The population was 6,873 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].

==History==
The city was named for a local mill operated<!--not built--> during the early 19th century by James Taylor Jr.,<ref name=kye>{{cite book |author=Rennick, Robert M. |title=''Kentucky Place Names'' |year=1988 |publisher=The University Press of Kentucky |location=[[Lexington, Kentucky]] |isbn=0-8131-0179-4 |chapter=Place Names}} Accessed 13 May 2010.</ref> the founder of [[Newport, Kentucky|Newport]]. In 1810 Taylor purchased the land from Jacob Fowler, and the road from what is now Covington to the mill was named Taylor's Mill Road. Others then moved onto the land, felling trees for lumber and clearing land for farming, which began the settling of the city of Taylor Mill.<ref>Hammons, M., "The History of Taylor Mill", 1988</ref>

In 1959 Taylor Mill annexed the former city of Sunny Acres, because its name confused newcomers who associated it with the fictional setting of an episode ("[[Shady Deal at Sunny Acres]]") from the popular TV series [[Maverick (TV series)|''Maverick'']]. In 1972 the voters of Taylor Mill and Winston Park voted to merge the two cities.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}
