History
The area where St. Paris now stands was originally inhabited by Native Americans. The first white settlers arrived in 1797 and the village was founded in Johnson Township in 1831 by David Huffman, who originally named it New Paris, after the French capital city of Paris. "On learning of a “New Paris” in this State, he prefixed to it the Saint, to avoid any difficulty that might occur in mail matter."
In 1846 and 1847 the Columbus and Piqua Railroad was built along the southern boundary of the village, greatly increasing its advantages compared to other communities in the surrounding area. After reorganization, when the Columbus, Piqua and Indiana Railroad between Columbus, Ohio, and Union City, Indiana opened on March 25, 1859, the local station was the most efficient transport option for area agricultural products and travellers. The railroad operated as part of the Bee Line, eventually becoming part of the Pennsylvania Railroad and then Conrail before abandonment in 1983.
St. Paris was incorporated as a village in 1858. The village increased in area, and now straddles to boundary between Johnson Township and Jackson Township.
One of the houses in the village, known as the "Monitor House", has been declared a historic site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
