* Paris is an unincorporated community and the largest settlement within the township at on the Muskegon River about north of Big Rapids. John Parish is considered the "father" of the village, having arrived in the 1850s and then platted the village in 1865. It was at first named Parish after him, but the name later became Paris. A fire on May 26, 1879 destroyed a large portion of the village, including records of Green Township.〔Romig, Walter. ''Michigan Place Names''. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1986.〕〔(''Portrait and biographical album, Mecosta Count, Mich.'' ) Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1883. pp. 126-127.〕 The Paris ZIP code, 49338, serves the northwest portion of Green Township.〔(49338 5-Digit ZCTA, 493 3-Digit ZCTA - Reference Map - American FactFinder ), U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 census〕 Paris Park, north of town, was the site of the second fish hatchery in the state of Michigan. The Paris Fish Hatchery opened in 1881, and from 1913 to 1938, salmon and brown trout fingerlings were shipped by rail baggage cars in milk cans painted a distinctive red. The Works Progress Administration renovated and expanded the facility in the mid-1930s. The hatchery operated until 1964, and in 1972 was acquired by the Mecosta County Park Commission and refurbished as a park that reopened in July 1976.〔(Michigan Historical Marker: Paris Fish Hatchery ), Michigan Historical Markers〕 In 1980, students from the Mecosta-Osceola Career Center in Big Rapids built a replica of the Eiffel Tower out of metal frames from WPA workers' beds that had been stored in barns.〔(20-Ft. Tall Eiffel Tower and 8-Ft. Tall Indian, Paris, Michigan ), RoadsideAmerica.com〕
