It got its name from the Torg (city market) located on it. The other half was called the Sophia Side after the Cathedral of St. Sophia.

From the 10th to 12th centuries, the Slavonic ''konets'' ("end") of Novgorod was located on the Trade Side. In the 12th century, the Plotnitsky (Carpenters's) ''konets'' was separated from the Slavonic ''konets'', and since then, the Trade Side consisted of two ''kontsy''.

The Trade Side began to be populated since the 10th century and the marketplace (Torg) appeared there. In the 11th century Yaroslav's Court, the princely residence, was built on this side as well.
