Historyedit
The first known direct mention of the market dates from 1701. In a letter to the provincial council the organisers ask permission to hold the market on the third Tuesday in October. The market was already held before this date.[1]
There also is a charter from 1232 that talks about a market in 'Laren', shortly after the second World War it was thought that this charter should certainly refer to the Zuidlaardermarkt. In order to celebrate the '750th anniversary' in 1950, the start year 1201 was conveniently taken. Nowadays it is considered more likely that this market was located in Noordlaren at the time and held was in may instead of the fall.[1]
