Cedar Rapids City Market history and evolution tale
The Cedar Rapids City Market began after years of street congestion from farmers wagons and was established by ordinance in 1902 with a superintendent and weigh masters. It moved from First Street West to Riverside Park by 1963, with a 1964 reopening at the Riverside Roundhouse, amid debates on location and structure.
