By her husband's account, both Metaliouses regarded <i>The Tree and the Blossom</i> as an unwieldy title and decided to give the town a name that could be the book's title. They first considered "Potter Place" (the name of a real community near <a href="/wiki/Andover,_New_Hampshire" title="Andover, New Hampshire">Andover, New Hampshire</a>). Realizing their town should have a fictional name, they looked through an atlas and found "Payton" (a town in Texas). They combined this with Place and changed the "a" to an "e". Thus <i>Peyton Place</i> was born, prompting her comment, "Wonderful—that's it, George. Peyton Place. Peyton Place, New Hampshire. Peyton Place, New England. Peyton Place, USA.
