The first post office was established at Paradise in 1877; it closed for a time in 1911, but was re-established later that year, when the post office at Orloff was closed. Paradise incorporated in 1979. For many years, the Butte County Railroad operated trains along the ridge, serving mines and sawmills.

Sadly the Camp Fire, of November 2018, the deadliest wildfire in California's history, has destroyed this beautiful town, with tragic loss of life.
