Paris, Tennessee (USA) is a small town of about 10,000 people in West Tennessee; it was incorporated in 1823. Paris is in the geographic center of Henry County (which encompasses about 30,000 people, including Paris). Henry County is located in the upper right corner of West Tennessee bordered by Kentucky (north) and the Tennessee River (east).
Paris is the county seat for Henry County and its town center, like many towns in the region, is built around an imposing court house which is now more than a hundred years old[1]. Standing on the courthouse lawn is a statue which is a Confederate monument[2] targeted for consideration of removal by the InvisibleHate.org website.
