Palaiopolis, the Capital of Andros during the Classical period, is believed to have been surrounded by fifty settlements. Rich coinage proves the prosperity of that period. The Archaeological Museum of Chora houses relevant finds, such as Hermes of Andros and others from Zagora.
In modern history in the post-war period, in 1939, Andros was ranked at the top of commercial shipping and economic prosperity and second in number of ship registration, after Piraeus. In the early 20th century, Andriot ship owner, Dimitris Moraitis, launched the Greece – North America sea route. His house is visible at the Agios Georgios area in Chora. Also, a visit to the Maritime Museum of Andros in Chora is suggested.
