Nokchagol Boseong Local Market (2nd, 7th)

It was opened as a cattle market from the late Joseon period and developed into a regular market. It is a cattle market famous as a calf market, and until the 1970s it bustled with cattle drivers who drove cattle as far as Jinju in Gyeongnam and Namwon in Jeonbuk. A driver usually drove 4 to 5 head on average, and skilled drivers drove up to ten head. In terms of transaction volume, the daily average exceeded 100 head until the 1970s, but now, due to the increase in full-time livestock farms and the development of transportation, the pattern of transactions has changed and the scale has shrunk to about 40 head on average.
It operates as a permanent market together with a five-day market, and in 2011, 11.3 billion won was invested to modernize the facilities and install an arcade. It features modern buildings, a market specializing in green tea, specialty product shops, and a performance venue. The place in Boseong Market famous among locals as a good restaurant is Teukmigwan, known for its green tea tteokgalbi and cockle bibimbap.
