==History==

Santaquin, one of the early settlements along the Salt Lake Road, was originally settled in late 1851. It was originally named '''Summit City''' because of its location near the summit of the divide between [[Utah Valley]] and [[Juab Valley]]. Summit City was settled by pioneers who were helping settle nearby [[Payson, Utah|Payson]] to the north. In 1856 it was renamed "Santaquin" for the son of Guffich, a local native chieftain friendly to the settlers.<ref>Source: Myron V. Olson, compiler, "Give Me This Mountain, A History of the Santaquin Utah Stake," 1984 quoted in [http://www.santaquin.org/history ''Santaquin History''], accessed April 14, 2015.</ref> Santaquin incorporated as a town in the 1890s and changed to a city effective January 4, 1932.
