While parts of Paradise have been inhabited since the late nineteenth-century, its growth only took off in the 1960s and 1970s as a "bedroom community" of nearby St. John's, and has grown at a rapid pace since. In the early 1990s, the Town of Paradise was amalgamated with the Town of St. Thomas, Three Island Pond, Topsail Pond, Elizabeth Park, and Evergreen Village, the latter four of which had been previously administered by the St. John's Metropolitan Board, an agency of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Recently, Paradise has been touted as one of the fastest-growing towns in Atlantic Canada.

Town Flag
The town flag of paradise was created by a former town council member, "Black" Arch Janes in 1986. He also provided an explanation of what each element in the flag represented. - The animal in the top of the crest is a caribou, which is currently the Provincial animal of Newfoundland.
- There are two bulldogs holding up the crest. These are the representation of the Royal British Navy. Canada was the protectorate of Great Britain before becoming Independent in 1867.
- The cross located on the center of the crest is a representation of the Christian religion on which the laws of Newfoundland are founded.
- The gear and electric bolt located in the top two portions of the crest stand for the industry which has been evergrowing within the community.
- The lower left corner of the crest bears a tree. This symbol is a representation of the town's name. Paradise in Greek means a park.
- The final symbol, located in the lower right corner is a sled filled with wood. This symbol represents Paradise's past industry, which was primarily in the wood industry.
