Opened in 1916, it is often cited as the first planned shopping center in the United States, with common design and management and designated area for parking automobiles.Although Country Club Plaza (1923) in Kansas City, Missouri is generally credited as the first suburban and the first regional shopping center designed to accommodate shoppers arriving by automobile, Market Square was first with these features, but was neither suburban nor of "regional" size (400,000 sq. ft. or larger).
