Market town

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The city center of Colchester. Colchester is Englands oldest recorded market town.

A market town is a settlement in Europe that has the right to have markets. This separates them from villages and cities. A town may be described as a market town or as having market rights even if it does not have a market anymore, provided the right to do so still holds.
