Paris, Ontario

Paris (2001 population 9,881) is a former town on the Grand River in Ontario, Canada. In 1997 its town government was amalgamated into the County of Brant.

The town was first settled in 1829 when Hiram Capron bought the land and built a mill on the present townsite.

Many of the early buildings were made with abudant amounts of locally made plaster of Paris, which lead to the town's current name.
