Taylorsville is a town located in southeastern Smith County, Mississippi, United States. With a population of 1,148 in the 2020 census, the town is the most populous city in Smith County. Taylorsville was established on the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad in 1900. The site was selected by an employee of the railroad, and soon after a post office was built. The post office was originally located about five miles away in Old Taylorsville, but was later moved to New Taylorsville. It was the moving of the post office to New Taylorsville that established the present location of the town.
