Payson is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States. It is portion of the Provo–Orem Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 18,294 at the 2010 census.

Pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led by James Edward Pace Jr. first arranged what is now Payson, Utah. On Sunday, October 20, 1850, Pace like his intimates and the families of John Courtland Searle and Andrew Jackson Stewart, totaling 16 settlers in all, arrived at their destination on Peteetneet Creek.

The agreement was originally named Peteetneet Creek, after which Chief Peteetneet was named. Peteetneet is the anglicized tarnishing of Pah-ti’t-ni’t, which in the Timpanogos dialect of the Southern Paiute language means “our water place”. Chief Peteetneet was the clan leader of a band of Timpanogos Indigenous Americans whose village was on a stretch of the creek approximately a mile northwest of Payson’s gift city center. The village, when abundantly occupied, housed over 200 of Chief Peteetneet’s clan and near kinsmen. It served as a base from which seasonal hunting and foraging parties moved to the mountains each summer and fall.
