Origins
After the 1.7 Survival World was opened, shivam0198 along with many others migrated out of the 1.3.1 Survival World, initiating a phase of colonization and establishment of towns. In that previous world, shivam0198 was the founder and mayor of the town Aeston. After locating a relatively low area beside a lake Northwest of spawn, shivam0198 began work on creating a new town. After the area was generally flattened

The origin of the town's name is from the word "paragon" which means "a person or thing viewed as a model of excellence," as shivam0198 attempted to create an ideal town by this definition.

Geography
Paragon is located besides the small, northern Lake Paragon. The location rests on a low plain in an oak-wooded region with small hills surrounding the town, however most of the town is generally flat.

The streets are 3-block wide stonebrick slabs indented into the gound with stone slabs on the edge. A small stonebrick wall borders the water and has glowstone lighting atop it.
