It came to be developed in the 2nd quarter of the nineteenth century when the harbour was created, to serve copper mines and also various other mineral sites in and surrounding the Luxulyan Valley; china clay later on came to be the dominant traffic as copper functioning decreased, and also the harbour and also the china clay dries stay as distinguishing characteristics of the industrial heritage; nevertheless the mineral task is much reduced. Par Harbour and also the beach at Par Sands are southern of the village, and the latter includes a big fixed campers vacation park; another tiny coastline is at Spit Point west of the harbour. In between these two beaches the South West Coast Path takes an inland diversion through the town. Par depends on a triangular of streets which create a one-way web traffic system.
