market-town
Commercial rural center
A market-town is a town that holds a regular market, historically granted the right to do so by royal charter.
The term is chiefly British and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking a time when such towns served as commercial hubs for surrounding rural areas: The market-town bustled on Saturdays when farmers brought their goods.
