The History of First Monday: A Journey Through Time




In the 1850s, Canton witnessed a distinctive monthly tradition tied to the circuit judge's visit on the First Monday of each month. This day marked not only court proceedings but also drew people from the region for various activities like business transactions, pantry stocking, and legal matters.




The atmosphere was lively, with locals bringing their goods, produce, and livestock to trade or sell. The exchange, originally held off the west side of the courthouse square, even included the trading of wild horses rounded up in the region and brought to Canton.


By 1965, First Monday’s popularity had outgrown the Town Square. The City of Canton responded by purchasing six acres just two blocks north of the courthouse, leading to the event's transition from a single-day affair to a four-day extravaganza held from Thursday to Sunday. Despite the expanded schedule, the name retained its historical significance, and today it's forever known as First Monday Trade Days.
