Abstract
This article examines the origin and growth of Jecheon Herbal Market(JHM). JHM was established in 1928 at the Jecheon Market Main causes of the growth of JHM is widely considered as the fact that it was located to the sources of herbal product, domestic or wild, and its convenient access in transportation aspect. Since the Independence of Korea, the control of the import of herbal medications from abroad served for the main factor of JHM's growth. Nowadays JHM is estimated as second to Gyungdong Herbal Market in total. However, among production-oriented markets it has been ranked first.
