Peterborough (then Scott’s Plains) establishes a central Market Square under the direction of Peter Robinson to serve newly arrived Irish settlers. The growing village becomes a hub for local farm trade and weekly market activity. A public market space is included in the new Town Hall on Water Street. Designed by John E. Belcher, this new Italianate Market Hall became the market’s home for nearly 60 years. The city repurposes the downtown Market Hall, and the market relocates to Morrow Park, a civic fairground gifted by the Morrow family. Vendors formally incorporate the Peterborough and District Farmers’ Market Association (PDFMA) to manage the market as a not-for-profit.
