Nestled near four major freeways, the Los Angeles International Airport, and the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, Paramount's convenience is rivaled only by its charm and appealing real estate pricing.

Paramount's tree-lined streets, quaint white picket fences, abundant recreation areas and parks, and landscaped boulevards reflect the city's small-town atmosphere. A stroll through its welcoming neighborhoods will reveal public art and a dynamic balance of residential and commercial areas.

Paramount became a city in 1957. Before that, it was comprised of Hynes and Clearwater. These two small communities hosted a vast number of dairies. With the largest hay market in the world, each morning by the “Hay Tree” the day's price of hay was set and quoted globally. That same Hay Tree can be found still in Paramount.

That isn't Paramount's only landmark though. In 1940, the Iceland skate rink was opened by Frank Zamboni. For generations professional skaters have trained here, including Olympian Dorothy Hamill. You might recognize the name, made famous for creating the Zamboni ice resurfacing machine. These machines are made in Paramount to this day, and used throughout the world.

Paramount met the transition from two small towns into one small city with grace and success. As community leaders, business owners, and residents came together, Paramount's innovative programs gained recognition, even leading to the designation of an “All-America City” in 1988.

This same community-minded leadership resulted in the city being awarded for it's strong management in the last 25 years. This ensures that vital programs such as public safety and recreation are well funded. One prime example is Paramount's Outdoor Art Museum. Woven through the city are myriad of outdoor sculptures from the modern abstract to realistic statues.

The 16 schools in the Paramount Unified School District also reflect community pride. Strong academic and innovative vocational and extracurricular programs are some of the reasons the school district has been decorated with many awards, on a state, national, and even global scale.
