Payson
City is located in the southern part of the Utah Valley
at the base of the Wasatch Mountains.
Payson is known as both an
agricultural and residential community and
has some of the best
views
of Utah Valley
and Utah Lake. Nestled
against the foothills of the
beautiful Wasatch Mountains,
Payson was originally
named after the
Ute
Indian Chief Peteetneet (meaning “little waters”). The name was
later changed to Payson
in honor of its first founder, James Pace.
Payson is the
gateway to one of the nation’s most scenic
byways:
the Mon Nebo Loop. Gladstan Golf
Course, located at the base of
the
mountains,
utilizes the mountainous surroundings to create a breath
taking and surprisingly challenging
golf course. The city recently
purchased 500 acres near the mouth
of Payson Canyon. The property
will be an environmental and
will accommodate trails and parks for
those wanting to enjoy the canyon and many surroundings. This
aggressive move by the
city
will protect the surrounding natural beauty
for
generations.
Payson City and Utah County are known for its well-
educated,
youthful work force. The
work ethic is strong and
the regulatory environment is
sensible. This high-tech mecca with its
pro-business climate
gives the
area economic strength.
Housing is
affordable and the market ever
changing. The
area has been ranked
for years
as one of the best places
to
live in America.
