While formerly known as Ballyovey, the contemporary name, Partry, derives from the word "Partraige", which is the name of the tribe that lived in the area in ancient times.[citation needed]

In 2004, Partry Athletic Football Club was formed by members of the local community. It won Division 2 of the Mayo league the season after its formation.[citation needed]

A priest-hunter named Seán na Sagart was killed in Partry. [citation needed]
