Santaquin was settled in 1851 and named for a Ute warrior. Legend has it that the local Ute chief was a peaceable man but his young son was a bit of a hot-head. The brave wanted to massacre the settlers, and so the chief went to the townspeople and explained that if they named the town after his son, it would placate him and take the edge off his temper, saving the residents. The settlers agreed to the name, the chief told his young son, and the massacre was avoided. "Santaquin" is the anglicized form of the Ute warrior's name.
