History

Paris was platted in 1831, and named after Paris, Kentucky, the native home of one of the first settlers, Mrs. James C. Fox. James R. Abernathy was one of the first settlers of Paris in 1831.

On March 10, 1832, Abernathy and seven others organized the first Christian Church in Paris. The church was built in a gothic style of brick with four rooms at a cost of $11,000 (equivalent to $298,577 in 2021).
