My family lived there from about 1860 until 1944. Paroquet no longer exists, but you can still find it on some older maps of Independence Co, Arkansas.Paroquet was one of the stops for the trains to take on water and wood.When the post office established ZIP codes, the "town" did not get a zipcode, and disapeared.There is very little information about Paroquet.A sign still exists along the railroad tracks. Mostly, it was some farmhouses located by the water tower.There were no stores, churches, or other buildings outside of the train depot.
