An unrelevant agglomerate of building until the 1800s, Sesto San Giovanni grew during the end of the 19th century and in the early 1900s, becoming the site of several industries, such as Falck, Campari, Magneti Marelli and Breda. In that period the population increased rapidly, from 5,000 inhabitants in 1880 to 14,000 in 1911. After the World War II, Sesto become populated by many migrants from other parts of Italy, leading to an increased population of 95,000 inhabitants in 1981. Sesto was in the past referred to as the Stalingrad of Italy, due to the strong historical presence of the Italian communist party (PCI).
Because of its diverse and growing industries, the Milan suburb has drawn many migrants. Some 9.52% of the population is not Italian. 2.97% of the population is North African Arab, 2.06% is other European, and 1.90% is from the Asian continent.
In the 1990s, Sesto San Giovanni suffered an economical crisis, and most of the historical companies closed their offices in the city. The town partially succedeed in reconverting its economy from producing steel to service industries and software activities. Several large companies opened offices in Sesto, such as ABB Group, Wind, Impregilo and Oracle Corporation.
