Taylor was created for the 1993 state election between the northern metropolitan seats of Ramsay and Goyder, and was won by the defeated Labor Premier Lynn Arnold. He resigned in 1994, triggering a Taylor by-election which saw Trish White retain the seat for Labor. It is regarded as a safe Labor seat.
