Abstract

The study will present the development of the Velika Gorica fair between 1860 and 1899. Chronology of introduction of yearly fairs to Velika Gorica will be presented. Note will also be taken of weekly and „lent“ fairs. Analysis will be conducted primarily through the preserved records of Noble Municipality of Turopolje (POT) fair incomes. Changes in prices and spatial expansion of the fair will also be taken into consideration. Fair incomes refer to assets entering the POT treasury by way of royal rights of collecting fair fees (“pjacovina”). Along with an analysis of overall annual fair incomes, an analyisis of particular yearly fairs will also be conducted. It will be used as an insight into the dynamics of trading at the Velika Gorica fair throughout the year. The analysis will be based on the original archival material, that is on POT notes of proceedings and the preserved POT yearly budgets. The preserved budgets will also be used to interpret how the Velika Gorica fair has been changing its character in the defined period.
