Parys
is a town situated on the banks of the Vaal River in the Free State province
of South Africa. Population 43,791. In the eariy 1870's, towns in the northern
Free State were situated very far apart and members of different churches
had to travel great distances to participate in religious services. It
was then decided by the Ring of the Dutch Reformed Church to implant the
idea of a congregation north of the Rhenoster River into the minds of the
residents of the farm Klipspruit, on the Vaal River, which was owned by
four van Coller brothers. After long deliberation by the brothers, the
first erven were laid out in 1876, and the little town of Parys was born. |
| The
name of the town is the Afrikaans translation of Paris. The name was given
by a German surveyor named Schilbach who had participated in the Siege
of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and the location next to the Vaal
reminded him of Paris on the River Seine.
