Piraziz was part of the neighbouring Bulancak district until 1987, when the Piraziz District was established.

Etymology edit

In the Ottoman Empire period, the town was named Piridede-Abdal.

Economy edit

The local economy depends on growing hazelnuts and fishing in the Black Sea.

Due to the poor economic conditions of the region, many people have migrated away to find better paying jobs in other parts of Turkey.
