New Paris is a village in Preble County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,629 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area. == History == The area was in the tribal grounds of the Pottawatomi, Miami and Wyandot Indians. The earliest settlers of the town arrived in about 1806, many of them coming from near Paris in Bourbon County, Kentucky. They named their new community after the one they left in Kentucky. The area south of the village called Cedar Springs was an early health spa. New Paris became an incorporated village in 1832. In 1833, New Paris contained four stores, one tavern, three physicians, one church, two gristmills, four sawmills, sixty dwelling houses, and about 400 inhabitants. On April 30, 1865, a nine-car funeral train carrying Abraham Lincoln's body and about 300 mourners, stopped for memorial ceremonies at New Paris, one of many stops of the president's "national funeral" procession from Washington to Springfield, Illinois. New Paris as well as nearby Greenville, Ohio and Richmond, Indiana were selected for this honor because of strong Union support during the Civil War, and to avoid a route passing through the Copperhead (Anti-War) hotbeds of Dayton and Cincinnati. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Paris, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
