Paris had a coconut plantation in the 1920s, which is now abandoned. French priest Emmanuel Rougier lived in a clapboard house in Paris, which has since been destroyed. Paris was mostly abandoned due to limited accessibility. It is believed that Paris was once home to roughly 20 people.
Paris was named by French priest Emmanuel Rougier who lived there while running a coconut plantation.[3][4] He named the town Paris due to the fact that he was homesick.[5][6]
