'''Williamson''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Yavapai County, Arizona|Yavapai County]], [[Arizona]], United States. The population was 3,776 at the [[2000 United States Census|2000 census]] and 6,196 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. The name "Wiliamson" is a misnomer, perhaps propagated by federal bureaucratic error; the area has long been known as "[[Williamson Valley (Arizona)|Williamson Valley]]" after the major road through the area, Williamson Valley Road.

==Geography==

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|57.6|sqmi|km2}}, all  land.

An attempt in 2009 to incorporate the area into a town failed after the neighboring town of [[Prescott, Arizona|Prescott]] voted against the proposal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dcourier.com/news/2009/oct/27/city-takes-a-pass-on-williamson-valley-incorporat/|title = City takes a pass on Williamson Valley incorporation issue}}</ref>

Part or all of the area of Williamson historically was referred to as '''Williamson Valley''' by area residents and by the county's Board of Supervisors, County Planning Commission, and staff. alike.  In a County plan, however, "only the northern portion of the plan area is 'Williamson Valley.' The southern portion was long ago called '''Mint Valley'''".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://williamsonvalley.org/us/williamson-valley-history/ |title=Williamson Valley History |publisher=Williamson Valley Community Organization |access-date=March 30, 2023}}</ref>
