Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines owes its name to the region's ancient silver mines, but these were not its only source of wealth. From the 18th century onwards, cotton spinning brought new prosperity to the town and its valley. Faced with a severe economic crisis, the textile mills closed down in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines' main income comes from forestry and tourism-related activities. The town boasts a number of Renaissance-style houses, recognizable by their turrets, to be discovered on the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines historical trail.
