Charleston City Market
Locally known as the "Open Air Market" Founded in the 1790s, the Charleston City Market was originally established for the sale of meat, seafood, and produce, becoming a central gathering place for Charleston’s lower and middle classes. Stretching four city blocks, it remains an architectural landmark, with Market Hall completed in 1841. The market has historically been tied to the enslaved community, though they were never sold here. Instead, enslaved individuals were often present at the market, tasked with bringing goods from their owners' plantations to sell or purchasing goods on their behalf.
