In 1806; Rudolph Bair came to Ohio from Pennsylvania and settled on one of the highest points in Stark County and called it Paris. After its establishment in 1814; this town became an important center of business and the arts. As a stagecoach stop on the main road from Pittsburgh to the West; this village evolved into a hub of American culture. By the late 1800s; Paris had dry goods stores; a drug store; two hotels; wagon factories; harness shops; shoe shops; blacksmith shops; a meat market; mills; a vinegar factory; and three churches. Local farmers also came to Paris to do business; worship in Paris�s churches; and absorb the latest news. The legacy of this village and its surrounding farmland lives on here in photographs; artifacts; and descendents of early settlers.
