In the second half of the last century, this most extended seaside commune of the province Ascoli Piceno developed along Aprutina (Lauretana) road that connects the coast of the region Abruzzo and Loreto, directed the development of the coastal settlements, together with the railroad, inaugurated in 1863. 

During the Benedictine re-colonisation of the territories between the Chienti and the Tenna, the Abbey of the Holy Cross was founded in 886, the ruins of which are preserved in Casette d’Ete, fraction of Sant’Elpidio a Mare. Between the 11th and the 16th century, the pier of Porto Sant’Elpidio acquired importance as a stage along navigation routes, commerce of hinterlands, as well as military defence. 

The still existing tower in the centre of the town belongs to that period. From the 9th century on, shoemaking became the principal production of the territory. Porto Sant’Elpidio has specialised in production of women footware. 

The feast of San Crispino (25th October), protector of shoemakers is very popular. Green oases are found in the gardens of elegant aristocratic villas: Villa Murri, Villa Barucchello, Villa Trevisani and Villa Rutigliano. Short deviation from State Road 16 leads to the Sanctuary of St Maria della Corva, memorable for an apparition of the Virgin in 1829.
