Paris, TX is full of historical significance.

By far the most refreshing is the fact that the first Coca-Cola ever served in the state was right here!

That’s right, over 150yrs ago, this beloved beverage received it first Texas pour at Frank Ledger’s Soda fountain in downtown Paris!

There are various signage throughout the town, as well as a historical marker located at 11 S. Plaza, that highlight this tasty story.

Relive some soda history for yourself!

Grab a nostalgic glass bottle of Coke from Paris Grocery. Then, stroll and discover all the wonderful destinations throughout downtown!
