HISTORY

HOW

Paris GOT IT'S NAME

P

aris is the third county seat of amar ounty. efore 1 4 , the county seat of amar ounty was northwest of the present location of the city of Paris, at a place called afayette, which was chosen for its position as close to the geographical center of the county as possible. ut in those days the counties of Texas were still in ux and in 4 the county s borders were read usted and the county seat moved to another location. The new seat of county government was called Mount ernon and business was done from a tavern at that location, about half a mile west of what is now ighway 24, about ve miles south of Paris. t would remain the county seat for about a year.

The rst recorded settlement in the vicinity of Paris was in 1 2 , and settlements were nown to be in the area as early as 1 24. n 1 , eorge . right, one of the rst permanent settlers in the area, brought his family from their previous home

8

The first recorded settlement in the vicinity of Paris was in 1826, and settlements were known to be in the area as early as 1824. on the ban s of the Red River to the high ground between the courses of the Red and the Sulphur rivers. The rights settled on 1,000 acres, purchased for 2,500 from ar in Rattan. n 1 44, right pledged 50 acres for the creation of a new county seat. ow the new county seat became nown as Paris is open to con ecture, but most historical records say a committee was appointed to choose a new name, one more suited to the importance of a center of government. ne source relates the decision on the name was made by a group of men meeting at eorge right s store, conversing on the topics of the day. ut other sources, such as the andboo of Texas, place the suggestion of the new name as coming from one of right s employees, Thomas Poteet. Members of the present day Poteet family af rm that version, saying that the Poteet family had spent some time in rance before coming to Northeast Texas, and the young man in uestion must have had warm memories of his time spent in the rench capitol.

HISTORY

n his web site obby ayne Smith, a fourth generation descendant of T.R. . Poteet, writes ur great pioneer ancestor, T.R. . Poteet, was the rst of the Poteet lan to come to Texas, from Tennessee, and was given much of the credit for naming Paris, Texas. Another web site, supported by the amar ounty enealogical Society, agrees hen the hassle over the location of a county seat was settled by eorge right s donation of 50 acres in the northwest corner of his property, T. .R. Poteet with support by r. illiam T. . ole suggested the new town be called Paris. The amar ounty istorical Society bac s up this account.

A. . Neville, long time editor of the newspaper that would eventually become The Paris News, wrote in a column dated anu ary 15, 1 1 T. .R. Poteet was a renchman who was employed by eorge right and who is said to have suggested the name of Paris for the new county seat of amar ounty when Mr. right gave the land for the town. n ac ward lances, olume a collection of the elder Neville s columns, edited by Paris historian and author S ipper Steely, Neville s daughter, Maude, herself a longtime ournalist in Paris, is noted as saying Poteet came from eastern Tennessee and was possibly born in irginia but was apparently of rench descent.

Paris, Texas, was of cially named and incorporated by the Re

public of Texas on eb. , 1 45. Pin oo was forgotten and the location of that settlement was eventually absorbed by the city as it spread out. Paris became a ma or stop for the entral National Road, established by the Texas ongress in 1 44 for the move ment of goods and merchandise across North Texas. n eb. 1 , 1 4 , Texas was formally annexed by the nited States, and Paris, Texas, became an American town. The Paris post of ce was founded in 1 4 .

Thomas R. . Poteet lived the rest of his life in amar ounty, serving for many years as county treasurer. e is buried in An tioch emetery northeast of the airdstown community southeast of Paris.

Today there are more than a do en towns called Paris in the nited States alone. There are two towns in isconsin named Paris, one in rant ounty, the other in enosha ounty. ther states with their own Paris or some variation of the name include ndiana, hio, Pennsylvania, Ar ansas, daho, llinois, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New or , Tennessee and irginia.

The anadian provinces of ntario and u on each have a Paris, and the island of iribati, in the ilbert slands in the middle of the Paci c cean, has its own Paris.

Paris, Texas, the second largest Paris in the world, has an Eiffel Tower topped with a Red owboy at. As T.R. . Poteet might have said est la vie.

owever Paris got its name, residents have used this famous designation to their advantage. ollowing the loss of a much smaller tower of wood, which sat on the Paris unior ollege campus, a new tower was designed, built and erected by various members of the community.

The current tower was built by members of the oilerma ers ocal 02 who wor ed at abcoc ilcox and donated their time. The company donated much of the materials used. The tower is bolted into 10 feet by 10 inch pads to ensure it would not be blown away li e the previous tower. n all, individuals spent approximately 1,000 hours to construct the tower.

The current Eiffel Tower, located at the ove ivic enter, was unveiled in uly 1 4 and was 5 feet tall.

The Eiffel tower in Paris, Texas, was long billed as the Second argest Eiffel Tower in the Second argest Paris in the orld. That is, until another

Paris in Tennessee raised their tower an additional 10 feet high in order to claim that slogan. That s where the red cowboy hat comes in.

The hat was designed and created by the late aon all. nce again, community members donated time, funds, materials and more. t is 4 1 2 feet high and sports a 10 foot wide brim. r. on Riddle, a long time veterinarian in Paris, tooled a brass feather that was placed on the owboy hat before installation. ou have to get the right angle to see the feather which is tarnished from time and weather, but it is something we li e to give credit for. The hat was placed atop the tower in ctober 1 .

The Paris, Texas, tower was once again taller than the Tennessee edice, again the 2nd largest tower, until a 540 foot version of the tower was built in as egas in 1 .

No other tower sports a bright, red cowboy hat, which has become a rally point for locals, visitors, weddings, reunions, conventions and more.

This impressive memorial is located next to the Eiffel Tower near Love Civic Center. The memorial’s centerpiece is the Ring of Honor, an elevated ring of granite walls containing the names of all the men and women from the ve county Red River alley area that made the ultimate sacri ce. Surrounding the Ring of onor are granite on ict alls, etched with information and graphic depictions of each war or con ict.

There are over 2,400 granite 1’ x 2’ pavers that honors all veterans no matter where they live. Also there are 48 Family Benches, 15 Ornamental Tree Pavers and 95 Specialty Pavers installed at the memorial.

Two bronze statues with murals have been installed to honor Gold Star Families and War Dogs and their Handlers. e have a computer ios that is used for visitors to ll out our uestboo and used to nd friend or family members that have their names engraved at the memorial.

We have begun construction on the last phase, that will include more Family Benches, Ornamental Tree Pavers, Veteran Pavers, Choctaw Code Talker Monument and static displays.

Barber

Hills

HIKING & BIKING TRAIL

hough it’s been there for several years, chances are good you’ve driven right past the Barber Hills Trail entrance at Pat Mayse Lake without ever noticing it. The trailhead, situated near the Sanders Cove gatehouse, is the gateway to 10 linked trails, which together make up 13.5 scenic miles of wooded hiking and mountain biking opportunities.

The trails weave in and out of trees alongside Pat Mayse Lake and follows the edge of Sanders Cove Park Road and M 0 . Each leg of the trail offers a different dif culty level, which is marked along the trail, as well as on the maps that are available at the gatehouse. Beginners, as well as more experienced riders, can nd the trail that wor s best for them.

Helping to maintain the trail is Bryan Hargis, who said the trail is open all the time, except from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or when it’s deemed too muddy to ride. Hargis said he posts the trail status online to ensure people know when the trail is closed for any reason.

“You can look at the trail status at dorba.org and look up Barber Hills and it’ll tell you if it’s open or closed,” Hargis said.

In recognition of Clint Barber’s countless hours devoted to making the trails what they have become, Hargis said they dubbed the trails Barber Hills. Completely maintained by volunteers, Hargis said the trail was originally completed with the help of Barber and a few of his friends.

Hargis and his group have placed trail markers to help guide people through the trails.

“Barber got with the Corps of Engineers and they approved him building the trail,” Hargis said. “It was built a little at a time and it’s completely taken care of and maintained by volunteers who ride and hike out there. If a tree falls across the trail, or if something needs trimming, it’s done strictly by volunteers.”

Before the trails were cleared, Barber said they would drive for at least two hours, one-way, twice a month, to ride on a mountain bike trail. That spurred the group to begin talking with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who told them they could utilize land not used for hunting near Sanders Cove.

After Barber gained permission to create the trails, he and a group of friends began building the trail around Christmas in 2005, a task that took three or four years to complete.

Continuously looking for volunteers to help with maintaining the trail, Hargis said if an organization, Boy Scout troop or an individual would like to help, they should email him at bryan@hargiselectric.com, or message him on the group’s Facebook page, facebook.com/Barber-Hills-Trails.

Maps of the trail can be picked up at the Sanders Cove check-in station, or printed from Barber Hills Trails’ Facebook page.

It’s the perfect way to round out a weekend of camping, shing, swimming and boating at Pat Mayse a e.

here had been no rain in Paris for more than seven wee s, and a steady wind had been blowing for ve days. y March 21st, everything in the city was as dry as tinder when what is now called The reat ire of 1 1 started near the S. . ong arehouse, southwest of the ity. No one really nows what started the re. oaxed by winds of 5 to 50 miles per hour, the ames spread rapidly. y around 4 00 am, the following morning, the con agration was under control, leaving in its path more than 10 hours of destruction.

As the re died down, the losses were staggering. A total of 1,440 buildings were destroyed and estimates of property losses ranged from 10 14 million dollars. Most of the business district and much of the residential areas were destroyed. Three lives were lost in the re and hundreds of Parisians were homeless. ountless personal treasures had disappeared. n the midst of the still smoldering embers, hamber of ommerce President enry P. Mayer hung a SM E sign leading the efforts to rebuild the ity. y 1 1 , most of Paris had been resurrected. The nishing touch to the rebuilt downtown was the completion of ulbertson ountain in 1 2 .
