Kankaanpää market square

Kankaanpää market already have a long history. Markets began to be organized in 1902 in the square in front of the church. The market was moved to its current location in 1912, after which the center of Kankaanpää town began to form around it. The rather small market square was expanded when the popularity of market trade grew.

At first, animals were also sold at the market, but later a separate animal market was established for the animal trade. Partly due to the market days, Kankaanpää became the center of its economic area, and the market days of Kankaanpää became the most important in the area.
