The history of St. Maries is intrinsically tied to the timber industry, a legacy evident in the weathered buildings and the enduring spirit of its people.

While the logging industry remains a cornerstone, the economy has diversified, embracing outdoor recreation and tourism drawn by the pristine natural beauty of the area. The clear, cool waters of the St. Joe River are a particular draw, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and simply soaking in the quiet grandeur of the wilderness.
