Parchment is located on Kalamazoo�s northern border on the beautiful Kalamazoo River. It�s name is derived from the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Company, a paper mill started by Jacob Kindleberger in 1909. This was the beginning of the town as well as the rise of the paper industry here just after the turn of the century. At one time, this area of Kalamazoo County was known as the worlds largest paper producing area in the world. That tradition continues today, with the paper industry being the city�s main source of economic support until 2000.

Parchment was incorporated as a village in 1931 and not long afterwards as a city in 1938.
