Paravur derived its name from ancient name Parayur, which literally means the place of Paravar, an ancient tribe. Paravar were the major inhabitants of the coastal areas of Kerala especially near the ancient capital Mohodayapuram of the Chera dynasty. Descriptions about Paravar can be found in Sangha literature.  

The coastal highway NH-66 Panvel-Kanyakumari passes through this historic town. The National Waterway-3 Kollam-Kottapuram passes through the west end of the taluk.

Paravur is believed to be one of the 64 villages created by Parashurama. This town had been an old trading post, with a Jewish synagogue and a thriving Jewish community, before their resettlement in Israel after its establishment in 1948.[citation needed] Cochin Jews lived in the towns of Kochi and North Paravur.
