The Latter-day Saints first settled in Payson in 1850. It was originally named Peteetneet Creek, after a Ute Indian chief who lived near Payson's current location. It was later renamed Payson by Brigham Young.
The Payson Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was dedicated by Wilford Woodruff in 1872.
In 1873 a high school was established in Payson, the first such institution in Utah south of Salt Lake City. It closed in 1876 due to the rise of Brigham Young Academy. An opera house was built in Payson in 1883. In the late 1800s, a factory making horse collars operated in Payson.
When the Strawberry Valley Reclamation Project was completed in 1912, the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company decided to place a sugar beet processing factory in the area. The plant was completed in October 1913. By 1915, the biggest year for the factory, 5,014 acres (20.29 km2) were planted, yielding 36,915 tons of sugar beets, which were processed into 7,722 tons of sugar. Due to low yields, the plant was closed in 1926 and dismantled in 1940; harvests were processed in the Utah-Idaho Sugar factories in Lehi and Spanish Fork.
Utah (/ˈjuːtɔː/ or i/ˈjuːtɑː/; Navajo: Áshįįh bi Tó Hahoodzo; Arapaho: Wo'tééneihí ) is a state in the western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th-largest, the 31st-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Utah has a population of nearly 3 million (Census estimate for July 1, 2015), approximately 80% of whom live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City. Utah is bordered by Colorado to the east, Wyoming to the northeast, Idaho to the north, Arizona to the south, and Nevada to the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico in the southeast.
Approximately 62% of Utahns are reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS (Mormons), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life. The world headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is located in Utah's state capital, Salt Lake City. Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the United States, the only state with a Mormon majority, and the only state with a majority population belonging to a single church.

Do this, don't do that
breaking the rules is where it's at
and thats the way its going to stay
if you don't want to try
you better have a reason why
pass the law obey by it
break the rules don't give a shit
I only have one commandment
Destroy to create, build a new
Smash the hate
What were they for?
Why were rules made?
To be broken
Who's to blame for all your flaws
Make abortion outlawed
And put the prayer back into school
I say piss on all your fucking rules
The truth is as clear as a cesspool
From where I stand
The inside view of a promised land
is the inside view of a garbage can
I'll bite the hand that feeds me shit
I'm getting sick of the taste of it
Leave the police bleeding
Leave the churches smoking
And your rules, leave them out on the street because
rules were made to be broken
