history

In the 13th century the parish church and a smaller neighboring chapel belonged to the collegiate monastery of St. Marcel , located in Bourg Saint-Marcel at the gates of Paris , which also owned fiefdoms and manus-mortua estates there. In 1238 in Ivry, Theodosim ( Thiais ) and Laiacum or Laï ( L'Haÿ-les-Roses ) one hundred and fifty subjects or mani and their wives, children and other descendants were released from serfdom . Fort d'Ivry was built in the 19th century to defend the capital, Paris.

Industrialization of the place began in the middle of the 19th century . Like many suburbs of Paris ( banlieue rouge ), it became a center of the labor movement , and the communist PCF still provides the mayor today . In the years 1961 to 1963 a large housing estate with the name Cité Gagarine was built , which was inaugurated personally by the namesake Juri Gagarin . This was demolished in 2019 in order to build a new settlement. The city has been a magnet for immigrants since World War II , v. a. from the Antilles , Maghreb , Indochina and Sub-Saharan Africa .

The last execution by firing squad in France took place in Fort d'Ivry on March 11, 1963. This punished Jean Bastien-Thiry , who organized the attack on Charles de Gaulle . It was also the last death sentence by a military court in France.

traffic

With the metro line 7 (stations Pierre et Marie Curie and Mairie d'Ivry ) and the rapid transit line RER C , Ivry is well integrated into the local transport system in the greater Paris area.

In the north of the city runs the European route 15 , which is a section of the Boulevard périphérique , the inner ring road of the French capital.

The Paris-Orly airport is located about ten kilometers south of Ivry.
