  • So, plot twist: there is no city of Taylors; Taylors is the historical name of the area. Taylors has also become the name of the census-designated place, and most widely, the United States Postal Service adopted Taylors as the “city” name for the 29687 zip code.

    So, you see Taylors as your address because you’re in the 29687 zip code. That zip code contains addresses in many different areas much broader than the historical meaning of Taylors. Some addresses in that zip code are actually in the City of Greer (the Target Shopping Center on Wade Hampton Boulevard is an example of this, as it’s even called Target Greer Store, but its address is 6025 Wade Hampton Blvd, Taylors, SC 29687).
