Kurmi market (Now in Kano State, Nigeria) in the 1960s. A 600 years old market. The market was built during the golden era of Kano, during the reign of Mohammed Rumfa, about 600 years ago. Rumfa it was who expanded the ancient city, gave it a new form that the indigenes are still proud of today. His reign also had a great influence on the city economically, religiously and socially.
Economically, the city emerged as a centre of trade with the magreb countries of North Africa.
It was as a result of these trading activities in Kurmi market that ancient Kano was in the
part of the trading routes of the Trans-Saharan trade.
