The town developed around a small sixth-century chapel constructed by St. Ia. Until the early twentieth century, the local economy was largely dependent on fishing. However, St. Ives later went through a major transformation as several artists were drawn to the area reviving it. Today, the services industry forms the largest part of St. Ive’s economy.
