Market town
In medieval law, a market town is a town that has the right to hold markets. Market towns are opposed to villages, which are typically smaller and do not have this right, and to cities, which are typically larger and often have additional rights.
Scandinavia
The Swedish equivalent to a market town was köping; the Finnish is kauppala.
