Historically agricultural, the primary source of employment for many years was local farms and fields. In the 17th century, industrial businesses like Hodson and Hull's bell-casting foundries opened in the area. The 1930s saw a transition from farmlands into industrial and office construction sites on the western side of the river.
Later years brought more construction and industrialisation to the area and vast housebuilding. 1860 saw the arrival of St Mary Cray Rail Station, and the population of St Mary Cray proliferated. St Mary Cray station is located on Sayes Court Road and offers regular services to London Victoria and London Blackfriars.
