Historically part of Lancashire, it originally consisted of two separate coastal towns with different beginnings as well as backgrounds which, in recent times, have merged to turn into one continuous settlement. The population of the civil church taken at the 2011 Census was 3,632. Ireleth has its beginnings as a mediaeval farming town clustered on the hillside neglecting the flat sands of the Duddon Tidewater. Askam was developed complying with the exploration of large quantities of iron ore near the village in the middle of the 18th century. Both initially fell within the boundaries of the Hundred of Lonsdale 'north of the sands' in the historical region of Lancashire, yet complying with local government reforms in 1974 entered into the county of Cumbria, together with the remainder of Furness. The neighboring River Duddon estuary and bordering countryside have actually made the location well known for its wild animals, while the villages' revealed position on the eastern bank encountering the Irish Sea have actually motivated the establishment of wind energy generation, amid regional controversy.
