It has an electoral ward in its own name the population of which at the 2011 census was 4,270.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕 The village's modern name comes from ''Porth Peran'', the Cornish for the cove of Saint Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. He founded St Piran's Oratory on Penhale Sands near Perranporth in the 7th century. Buried under sand for many centuries, it was unearthed in the 19th century. ==History== The ''Voorspoed'' ran ashore in a northerly gale in Perran Bay on 7 March 1901, while travelling from Cardiff to Bahia. The wreck was one of the last to be looted.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/10397734/Shipwreck-photograph-collection-for-sale.html?frame=2711289〕 Perranporth Airfield, built during World War II as an RAF fighter station, is now a civil airfield. It is located at Cligga Head, on the plateau above the cliffs.〔 Until the 1960s, Perranporth was served by a railway line. Built as the Truro and Newquay Railway, the line ran from Chacewater to Newquay and the principal intermediate stop was Perranporth station.〔Reade, Lewis (1983) ''Branch Line Memories''; Vol. 1. Redruth: Atlantic Publishers ISBN 0-906899-06-0〕 Perranporth also had a second station, known as Perranporth Beach Halt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perranporth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
