In 2011, it had a population of 178. Cornelly parish was united with Cuby in 1934. In November 2020, the parish council voted to merge with neighbouring Tregony. Both villages are now part of the parish of 'Tregony with Cuby' that came into effect on 1 April 2021. Cuby Parish Church The church of Cuby is dedicated to Saint Cuby, a Cornish saint: since the parish church of Tregony was lost to the River Fal around 1540, Cuby Parish Church has been in fact the parish church of Tregony also.

Life in Cornwall The ''vita'' of Cybi, found in two (Latin) forms written about 1200, is of very doubtful value, but may be right in making him the son of a Cornish noble who was ''princeps militae'', at a court between the Tamar and the Lynher, possibly Gelliwig. According to the 'Life of Saint Cybi', he was the son of Salomon, a 'warrior prince', generally thought to have been a King of Cornwall. In the 'Bonedd y Saint', his father's name is given the Welsh form, Selyf. His mother, Saint Wenna (''Gwen ferch Cynyr''), was sister to Saint Non. He was raised as a Christian and, in early life, went on a pilgrimage to Byzantine Judea and Jerusalem. He was appalled at the Church in Israel and considered it an invader of Christ's land. In Judea, he found Jewish ...
