The suburb was established in the 1920s, when George Riddell created a loop road through the area. 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.
