| The Town of Paradise, incorporated in 1979, is a beautiful community with a population of nearly 27,000 and another 20,000 people living in the adjacent unincorporated area of Magalia. It is located 97 miles North of Sacramento and 12 miles Northeast of Chico and situated in the Western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The community forms a sanctuary for wild game since there is no hunting allowed within the perimeter. Paradise offers its residents a rare combination of advantages. With its great natural beauty and charm, it offers excellent home sites, a wide choice of recreational pursuits, cultural activities and facilities for shopping and personal services. Recreational pursuits are plentiful as this beautiful countryside offers activities for the hiker, fisherman, hunter, horseman and golfer. Lake Oroville is within ten minutes of Paradise for water sports, house boating and fishing. Paradise offers a delightful climate which is superior to that of much of the rest of Northern California. We boast four distinct seasons. Our foothill location and prevailing wind direction eliminate smog conditions completely. Its 18 square miles and has an altitude of 1200 to 2400 feet. This altitude keeps it cooler in the Summer and with less Winter fog than is found on the valley floor below. Our Winters offer an occasional light and beautiful snowfall which enhances Paradise's natural beauty. Paradise has a progressive and excellent school system. We are in close proximity to California State University Chico and Butte Community College. Stop by and say "hi" on your next visit!
