IVES, Sr., a sea-port town of Cornwall in England, seated on a bay of the same name; which is chiefly frequented by fishermen, for the taking of pilchards. By this trade, and that of Cornish flates, it has thriven greatly, and 20 or 30 sail of ships now belong to it. It is a corporation, governed by a mayor, recorder, &c. and it sends two members to parliament. Here is a handsome spacious church, and a grammar-school, which was founded by Charles I.
