Parisville is notable as one of the first Polish American settlements in the United States, having arrived around 1848. Parisville was named after Paris, Ontario by early settlers who lived in the Canadian town for a short period before moving on to the United States. Once a thriving community with numerous businesses, Parisville is now a quiet community of around 2 dozen homes and St. Mary's Catholic Church.
