History of Jesolo

The inhabitants of the area subsequently transformed it, due to transcription errors, in Jesolum, being the name by which we know it today. In the ancient times, territories today destination of many tourists in summer were totally inaccessible, due to the presence of a swamp in which were lying several islands, the largest of which was precisely Equilium.

It was eventually exploited as a pole of attraction for maritime commerce and probably for the same reasons it was object of appetites and conquests of various foreign peoples. After World War I, new reclamation works were opened thus introducing new crops, including those of maize, wheat and sugar beet.

In 1930 the city officially took the name by which we know it today and in the subsequent decades the first plant was opened for therapeutic treatment and reception of tourists who were beginning to reach Jesolo, which today sees tourism as the pivot of its local economy. Now this place has become an ideal destination for visitors to enjoy the most refreshing and relaxing holidays.
