TThe plans foor an incorpporated Gloobe were esstablished iin July 18766

MMiami Landd and Imprrovement CCompany wwhen they ppurchased aa
trract of landd on the uppper end off Miami Flaats (where present‐dayy

PPayson conssiders its foounding year as 1882, at which time it was
kknown as GGreen Valleey. On Maarch 3, 18884, a post office was

PPayson had its first roddeo in 18844. Payson cconsiders itts rodeo thee
"world's olddest continuuous" as it hhas been heeld every yeear since. Inn
11918, author Zane Greyy made his first trip too the area ssurroundingg
PPayson. He would comme back wiith regulariity throughh 1929, andd
wwould evenntually purcchase two plots of laand near Tonto Creekk,
inncluding 1220 acres froom Sampson Elam Bolles under MMyrtle Pointt.
GGrey wrote numerous books abouut the areaa and also ffilmed somee
mmovies, suchh as To the LLast Man, inn the Paysonn area in thee 1920s.

DDuring the 11930s an efffort began to try to geet Payson a better roadd
too connect iit to the ouutside worlld. At that time Paysoon was veryy
issolated, witth a trip froom Phoenixx to Payson taking eighht to twelvee
hhours. Throuughout the 1950s workk on a paved road fromm Phoenix too
PPayson proggressed andd the pavinng was commpleted in 11958. A feww
yyears ago thhis highwayy, State Routte 87 (also known as tthe "Beelinee

aabout 300 BB.C. followeed by the Anasazi froom the norrth and thee
HHohokam froom the soutth. It is estimmated that aabout 1,0000 sites in thee
SStar Valley aarea were inhabited ovver the time period froom 600 andd
11200 A.D. TThe Mogolloons generaally lived inn villages, hhunted, andd
ggrew variouus crops in gardens. Evventually, bby about 15500 A.D., thee
MMogollon cuulture had bbeen absorbbed into other tribes lliving in thee
aarea.

TThe historiees of the towwns of Hayyden, Winkeelman, and Dudleyvillee
aare closely rrelated due tto their closse proximityy. Hayden wwas foundedd

inn 1910 andd laid out onn three disttinct hills, bbut not in a true north‐
south patterrn. The centtral hill wass referred too as 'Mill Sidde', and was
thhe site of the mill, stoores, and scchools. To tthe east andd across thee

AA post officee for Dudleeyville was establishedd in 1882 aand the areaa
wwas named for Dudleyy Harringtoon, an estabblished ranncher in thee
aarea. When the railroadd arrived att what is noow Winkelmman in 19033,
itt was necessary to estaablish an enntirely separrate post offfice. The raiil
liine ran nearr the ranch owned by PPeter Winkeelman, a stoockman. Thee
nnew post offffice was consequently called "Winnkelman." SStill another
ccommunity in the area at that timme was knowwn as Feldmman, locatedd
oon the Puschh Ranch, wiith Henry FFeldman as manager. AAlthough thee
records showw the namee of Dudleyvville was lateer changed to Feldmann,
itt is obviouus that the original Feeldman (thhe first PZ ranch) was
aaltogether annother locaation from ppresent Dudleyville.
