Laid out in 1851 as Calhoun Square, named after John C. Calhoun, a South Carolina statesman and U.S. Vice President. This square is historically unique because it is the only square in Savannah where all of its original historic buildings remain intact. In August 2023, it was renamed Taylor Square to honor Susie King Taylor, a pioneering nurse, educator, and author. The land was originally part of the city's common lands and sits directly on top of an early 19th-century burial ground known as the "Stranger Grounds," which served as a potter's field for unclaimed bodies and poor residents. The square is a prime stop on Savannah ghost tours due to 432 Abercorn Street, an infamous, long-empty Greek Revival mansion bordering the square that is tied to local folklore about a tragic family and paranormal activity.
