After the establishment of Masanchang, the Changwon magistrate placed officials and grain transport soldiers at the granary, and as villages began to form around the wharf, the market (Masan Market) started taking shape. At that time, Masan Market traded various marine products caught by fishermen as well as agricultural products, fabrics, and brassware. With the opening of Masanpo in 1899, foreign manufactured goods came in, activating the market and supporting Masan's economy. According to records in 'Mangiyoram' that there were 130 brokers (similar to today's fisheries cooperative function) in Masanpo, it can be inferred that the old Masan fish market was quite prosperous at that time. The fish market centered around the granary expanded along with the reclamation of Masan Port to the current location between Dongseo-dong Happo-ro and Haean-ro and around the fisheries cooperative. After Japan's annexation, Masan Port began to be reclaimed in 1914 with about 11,000 pyeong in the current Namseong-dong Post Office/Geukdong Wedding Hall area, and through several reclamations between 1927-1940 and the reclamation of about 67,000 pyeong of the old port between Hong Kong Bar (behind Daewoo Department Store) and the fisheries cooperative, it reached its current state.
