Paris originated as a crossroads in the 1790s at the foot of Ashby’s Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains at the junction of Ashby’s Gap Turnpike (present day Route 50) and the Winchester-Dumfries Road (present day Route 17). Paris lies at the northern edge of what is called the Crooked Run Valley that extends eight miles to the south to I-66 and east to Rectortown.
