The borough is named for Restormel Castle. It was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merger of the borough of St Austell with Fowey, Newquay urban district and St Austell Rural District.
The motto of the borough in Cornish- Ro an mor hag an tyr, means From the sea and from the land, and recognises the Borough's connection with the sea (fishing and tourism) and the land (china clay and agriculture).
St Austell, the largest town in Restormel and in Cornwall, does not have a Parish/Town Council.
