Named after one of the Taylor Brothers' farm estates. Three of the brothers had farms in this area and built houses; Charles John Taylor at Glen Orchard (now St. Heliers), William Innes Taylor at Glen Innes, and Richard James Taylor at Glen Dowie. Their brother Allen Kerr Taylor lived near Mt. Albert in a house called Alberton.
Glen Innes was previously larger, but when the railway line went through, the area north-west of the line was renamed Saint Johns, after the theological college in the area.
