Taylorsville, Utah

About Taylorsville

The area called Taylorsville today is made up of three historic communities in the central part of Salt Lake County: Taylorsville, Bennion, and Kearns. Taylorsville, Bennion, and part of Kearns became the city of Taylorsville during the centennial anniversary of Utah statehood in 1996. After incorporation, there was a lively discussion about what the new city should be called. Midvalley City, Oquirrh City, Centennial, and Taylorsville-Bennion were all discussed. Eventually, Taylorsville was chosen. Taylorsville's nickname is “Utah’s Centennial City” because it officially came into existence one hundred years after Utah became a state.

West Valley forms the western border and South Salt Lake and West Jordan on the South with Murray on the East.

The quality of life in Taylorsville is high with many cultural and recreational activities available within the city or nearby. The city values its reputation as a well-maintained residential and business community. A river also runs through it; the Jordan River, with its bike and walking trails and beautiful natural habitat, is without question a prized gem of the city.

Residents of Taylorsville place a high value on the natural element of the Jordan River corridor, as well as the open spaces and parks that dot the area. Among them is the large Valley Regional Park, home to the popular Taylorsville Dayzz, the city’s annual summer celebration that draws thousands of people each year for carnival rides, a parade, entertainment, and fireworks. A bustling suburb of Utah’s Capital, Taylorsville represents a balance of homes, businesses, and thriving commercial areas.
