Parma is located in western Jackson County on I-94. It is a rural community supported by local agriculture and some small business. It also functions as an adjunct commuter town to the greater Jackson area, about 10 miles to the east. The downtown area features a well-kept railroad depot adjacent to many well preserved turn-of-the-century style buildings along the main street area.

Parma was first settled by Eli and James Gould in 1833, who first called it: "Groveland." It also received a nickname of "Cracker Hill" during that time. When application was made for a post office in 1862, it was renamed for Parma, New York, from which many of the town residents had moved. It was incorporated as a village in 1864.
