John Stansel Taylor
John Stansel Taylor was a Largo, Florida politician, citrus grower, and businessman who served as the first State Senator from Pinellas County, Florida. He was born "six miles south of Largo" on March 21, 1871,〔Chapin, George. ''Florida, Past Present, and Future''. 528. 1914.〕 before Largo became a municipality and when Pinellas County was still Western Hillsborough County. Taylor’s parents were among the Pinellas Peninsula's first pioneers,〔(Farlow, Rita. "Park will link Pinellas County's past, present." ''St. Petersburg Times.'' March 4, 2008. )〕 and he was one of the first residents to be born in the Largo area. He was one of four members of his family to serve in the State Legislature. He was one of the largest landowners in Pinellas County, owning citrus groves and a packing plant at a time when Largo was nicknamed "Citrus City."
〔(Taylor Park. Online. June 6, 2008. )〕 Taylor was President of the Florida Citrus Exchange and a Member of the State Citrus Commission. He has been called "the father of Pinellas County."〔Chapin, George. ''Florida, Past Present, and Future''. 529. 1914〕 He died in 1936. Taylor Lake Park, a Pinellas County park, was named in his honor.
