Payson (Navajo: Ndzistsooí) is a town in northern Gila County, Arizona, United States. Due to Payson’s location being very near to the geographic center of Arizona, it has been called “The Heart of Arizona.” Payson is also considered part of the colloquially defined Northern Arizona region, and the town serves as a gateway to the vast wilderness of the Colorado Plateau. The town is surrounded by the Tonto National Forest, the largest of the six national forests in Arizona—and the ninth largest national forest in the United States.
Payson boasts a lively festival calendar, including The World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo established in 1884, as well as the Arizona State Old Time Fiddlin’ Championship, which celebrates the area’s musical heritage.
As of the 2020 census, the population of Payson was 16,361.
