The present-day Tange Market is said to have begun in the early Taisho era (1912-1926), when boats ascending the adjacent Jingoku River began to unload their cargo and begin doing business.
The neighborhood has long been a residential area, and as cargo from the suburbs and the Tagawa area began to drop in, the market naturally took on the function of a market and became crowded.
The market, which did not function during the war, was reopened soon after the war as a market for fresh produce as merchants gathered again. Among them, stores that were conditionally allowed to operate on land that is not currently permitted under the River Act, due to the importance of supplying foodstuffs to citizens and the course of business that had taken root in the area, have become the axis of Dangae Market and have built the prosperity it enjoys today.
Around 1955, the market entered its heyday as a market, with the postwar building that had been a drug market being replaced by the current storefront, and the establishment of the Dangae Commercial Cooperative Association and the Kokura Central Market Cooperative Association.
The market gradually faced the doughnutization of its population and the suburban expansion of large stores, but it has survived the crisis of the shopping district to this day through the expansion of sales to the food and beverage industry in conjunction with the expansion of commercial facilities in the city center.
