It was once “Rancho Huizachal de los Canales”. The name Parás is derived from Jose María Parás y Ballesteros, the first constitutional governor of Nuevo León. Prior to the settlement the land was Gualeno Indian Tribe Territory and left many artifact the biggest being Piedras Pintas just a few miles northwest of the town.
The town is small in size but it has many smaller settlements and ranches under municipality jurisdiction. The people of Parás live of ranching and agriculture. The population is not large at all due to the amount of people who fleeted throughout the years to the U.S.A seeking employment.
The town is usually at its fullest of capacity during American holidays when its residents go back home. It is well known for the increasing amount of whitetail deer, bringing in hunters from all over. It is also known for its local festivities, the biggest being on the following Saturday of its anniversary February 17.
This Municipal town is also known for its general who served in the Mexican Revolution. Some say it should be nicknamed Tierra de Generales or land of generals due to its amount of generals in such a small town.
