DescriptionAccording to locals, Paradise is a corruption of the name of a local roadhouse: “Pair o’ Dice.” Other explanations have circulated over the years, but what is certain is that the name was formally recorded as Paradise in 1883, when the Northern Pacific Railroad chose the site as a division point and the place where railroaders would change their watches from Mountain to Pacific time.
