Paris's main Asian district, theQuartier Asiatique in the13th arrondissement, borders the commune and now extends into the northern parts of Ivry. Asian commercial activity, especially Chinese and Vietnamese, has greatly increased in Ivry-sur-Seine during the past two decades. The commune contains one of the highest concentrations ofVietnamese in France, who began settling in the city in the late 1970s after theVietnam War.[3]
Politically, Ivry-sur-Seine has historically demonstrated strong electoral support for theFrench Communist Party (PCF). Between 1925 and today (except for the period of German occupation in World War II), the office ofmayor was held by just four individuals:Georges Marrane,Jacques Laloë,Pierre Gosnat andPhilippe Bouyssou, all members of the Communist Party.
Originally, Ivry-sur-Seine was called simply Ivry. The name Ivry comes fromMedieval LatinIvriacum orIbriacum, perhaps meaning "estate of Eburius (the Latinized form of theGallicpatronym Eburos)", aGallo-Roman landowner.
In 1897, the name of the commune officially became Ivry-sur-Seine (meaning "Ivry uponSeine"), in order to distinguish it from other communes of France also called Ivry.
On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, about a third of the commune of Ivry-sur-Seine was annexed to Paris, and now forms the Chinatown area of the 13th arrondissement of Paris. TheHôtel de Ville was completed in 1896.[4]
Ivry-sur-Seine is perhaps most famous as the place of execution ofJean Bastien-Thiry in March 1963. Richard Ellman also notes thatJames Joyce's daughter,Lucia, received psychiatric treatment in the commune's hospital in 1936 and was visited by both Joyce andSamuel Beckett.[5]
1 This group is made up largely of former French settlers, such aspieds-noirs inNorthwest Africa, followed by former colonial citizens who had French citizenship at birth (such as was often the case for the native elite in French colonies), as well as to a lesser extent foreign-born children of French expatriates. A foreign country is understood as a country not part of France in 1999, so a person born for example in 1950 in Algeria, when Algeria was an integral part of France, is nonetheless listed as a person born in a foreign country in French statistics.
2 An immigrant is a person born in a foreign country not having French citizenship at birth. An immigrant may have acquired French citizenship since moving to France, but is still considered an immigrant in French statistics. On the other hand, persons born in France with foreign citizenship (the children of immigrants) are not listed as immigrants.
As of circa 1998 Ivry andVitry-sur-Seine had a combined Asian population of 3,600. That year about 250 Asians from those communes worked in the13th arrondissement of Paris, and the overall demographics of Ivry and Vitry Asians were similar to those in the 13th arrondissement.[11]
