History
The first reference made to Paramo is in the division of the eleven counties and three parishes into which Lugo was divided into at a council lasting from 569 to 572. A slight discussion is made about this council in Xoan Pallares e Gaioso's (1614-1698) book "Argos Divina, Nuestra Señora de los ojos grandes" (Divine Argos, Our lady with the large eyes), which says:
"During the Council of Lugo, as said in the archives of the Church, under the reign of Teodomiro, the limits of each county were decided."
In Roman times, roughly 170 Christians were killed on a hill in Paramo called Paramo hill
