A marketplace or trading area where hay is bought and sold, often historically a meeting place for farmers and merchants.
From Middle English 'hay' (dried grass for animal feed) + 'market' (place of trade). The Haymarket in Boston and London became famous public squares used for both hay trading and gatherings.
The Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago became a turning point for labor rights, yet started during a workers' demonstration at an actual hay trading ground—showing how ordinary marketplace names can become tied to pivotal historical moments.
