Paradise, Kentucky
Paradise was a small town in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, United States. The town was located 10.5 miles east-north-east of Greenville and was formerly called Stom's Landing (sometimes incorrectly spelled Stum).〔(Paradise in Kentucky KYGenWeb )〕〔Rennick, Robert M. (1984) ''Kentucky Place Names'', p. 226. Lexington, Ky: The University Press of Kentucky, ISBN 0-8131-1503-5〕 It was once a trading post along the Green River, but it no longer exists. It was torn down in 1967 by the Tennessee Valley Authority due to health concerns over coal-burning electric plant, Paradise Fossil Plant.
==History==
Paradise was settled in the early nineteenth century when it was known as ''Stom's Landing'', for Leonard Stom who founded the ferry there.〔〔(Muhlenberg County Court Order Book 1 Pages 26-50 KyGenWeb )〕 It may have once been named ''Monterey''. The origin of its final name of ''Paradise'' is not known.〔(Kentucky Atlas & Gazateer ) The University of Kentucky. Accessed online September 2, 2009〕 It is postulated the name was descriptive, for settlers who considered the setting to be paradise. A post office was established at Paradise on March 1, 1852; it closed in 1967.〔〔(Progress Closing the Gates to Paradise KyGenWeb )〕
In 1959, the TVA built a coal plant at the former site of Paradise.〔(State History Timeline ) from Thingstodo.com〕 The coal-fired plants remain controversial and the Paradise permits in particular, have been criticized by environmentalists for non-compliance with the Clean Air Act.〔(TVA's Kentucky "Paradise" Coal-fired Plant Operating Permit Fails to Comply With the Clean Air Act )- August 24, 2009 from The Center for Biological Diversity〕 Since construction of new scrubbers on Unit 3 at Paradise, the plant's emissions from the massive unit have dropped dramatically in recent years; this in turn has led to a dramatic drop in toxic emissions from the plant overall.
