History of The Hague Market
The Hague Market is also known as the Haagse Mart. In the past, the market was also regularly called De Maag. Until May 1938, the Hague Market was located on the Prinsengracht. Exotic fruits were already sold there in 1920. In 1938, due to increasing traffic, the market was moved to its current location on Herman Costerstraat, in the Transvaal district next to the Schilderswijk. The market has now developed into the largest outdoor goods market in the Netherlands and is one of the largest markets in Europe.
