Chalcis became part of the kingdom of Greece in 1830. From 1940 to 1944 the city was occupied by the Germans. The growth and prosperity of Chalcis since World War II has partly been due to its popularity as a resort for Athens and partly to a brisk agricultural trade; livestock and butter are marketed.
