History
The area of Izola has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Until the 19th century, it was a place on an island (Italian: Isola) near the mainland, and the majority of the population were Italians.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the island was connected to the mainland, but in addition to that, the old city economy collapsed.

After that, the majority of the Italian population emigrated to the homeland, and Slovenes and other Yugoslavs immigrated in their place.
Izola has been a part of Slovenia since 1991.
