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.
