History
The market began as a loose gathering of street traders and handcarts in the Pijp. It takes its name from the 17th-century painter Albert Cuyp. From 1912 the market was held six days a week, during the day. From the late 1960s, new arrivals from abroad changed the goods on sale, and fish sellers began importing anchovies and sardines. Singer André Hazes was born and raised in the Pijp. In 1959 he sang at the market and was discovered there by Johnny Kraaykamp. The market celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2005.
