Synopsis
Excerpt from The Paris Register, 1906
The surface of Paris is broken by many hills of consider able height, but is not so uneven as many of its neighboring towns. Its soil is well adapted to agriculture and stock raising, being fertile and productive, although its rugged nature renders it hard to subdue. Much wealth has been realized from its forests of valuable timber. Paris has also become Well known for its rich deposits of mineral wealth.
Paris is a double township. The Little Androscoggin enters near the northwest corner, and flowing southeasterly it approaches the center of the town below Snow's Falls; here it curves gradually to the west and leaves the town again below South Paris village. The East Branch, the outlet of Moose Pond, Stone's and Smith's brooks, and at South Paris, Stony brook, are the chief tributaries which form the drainage system of the town. The only ponds are Moose Pond, near North Paris, and Hall's, near the south east part of the town.
The principal villages are South Paris, an enterprising manufacturing and commercial center; Paris Hill, near the center of the town, the most elevated village in the county, and made famous as the home of many men who have become prominent in state and national politics; West Paris, a rising manufacturing village, North Paris, which was, during the days of the old stage coach, one of the busy centers; and Snow's Falls, which seems to have been a place of misfortune since the first unhappy event we have recorded.
