It has an electoral ward in its very own name, whose population was 4,270 in the 2011 census. The town's modern-day name originates from Porth Peran, the Cornish for the cove of Saint Piran, the tutelary saint of Cornwall. He started St Piran's Oratory on Penhale Sands near Perranporth in the 7th century. Buried under sand for lots of centuries, it was discovered in the 19th century.
