Until unified as the City of Paramount in 1948, the area was known as Hynes and Clearwater, two neighboring communities. Because of a Union Pacific rail station in Hynes, it became an important shipping center in the 1930's. The Hynes hay market became a world leader and the largest receiving point for hay in the world. The dairy business flourished in the area as many Dutch families emigrated to Hynes-Clearwater and the neighboring towns of Artesia and Bellflower shortly after World War I.
