HISTORY OF ORISUMIBARE MARKET Orisumibare is a market located at old garage area, Orisumibare, Osogbo. The market was named Orisumibare by the marketers i.e. the market women who earlier on had been scattered but have now come together to rejoice and settle for proper marketing. Information says that the marketers were at one time in Jankara area, Osogbo, particularly shopping in Ladenele market, but due to the problem that arose among the politicians, some emissaries of certain politicians destroyed the whole market. The market women later scattered to every where in the State; places like Iree, Ikirun and Iragbiji e.t.c. for their weekly and daily marketing. They continued with this for a long period of time before the then king, Late Oba Adenele established the old Orisunmibare Market and the market women started to gather themselves back at the market which made it convenient and easy for the market women to stay in a place to transact their business, displaying their goods and products. Years after this event led to the new Orisunmibare market, it was established by the military Government but they were unable to complete the project before the intervention of the civilian government.
