Taiton is described as being located on SH 71, a distance of 5 miles (8.0 km) north of New Taiton. The region was first settled by Anglo-Americans in 1886.

The community was first named Tait, but the name was changed to Taiton in 1896 when the post office was established. In 1901, Ignace Jurasek contributed land for a new schoolhouse to replace the old one. B. E. Medina opened a general store and there was a dance hall by 1903. The school reported 75 students and one teacher in 1905. T
