Taylor County

Description

Taylor County is a county located in the Big Bend region in the northern part of the U.S. state of Florida. As of the 2010 census, the population was 22,570. Its county seat is Perry. The county hosts the annual Florida Forest Festival and has been long known as the "Tree Capital of the South" since a 1965 designation from then-Governor W. Haydon Burns.
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.
