Paonia, a mountain town on the North Fork of the Gunnison River, was founded in 1882 by Samuel Wade. He brought the first fruit trees into the valley on horseback. He named the town after the Latin spelling for the peony flower. Original stock from Samuel's peonies still grow in the Town Park.
Paonia boasts a two block main street with no traffic jams and about 1500 residents. Mount Lamborn, 11,395 feet, provides a stunning backdrop for Paonia and the surrounding mesas. Some 5,000 people live on the eight mesas near Paonia. The mesas are named Stewart, Bone, Garvin, Pitkin, Stucker, Wakefield, Lamborn and Sunshine. Orchards, small ranches, homes and horse farms cover the mesas, and a drive up any one of them guarantees spectacular views of the Ragged Mountains, Mount Lamborn and the valley below.
