Was it by design or did it just evolve that way?
BTW, is there a low/null sec equivalent? Should there be? |

It evolved that way. More or less due to ease of access to missions back in the day. If it was deliberate it would be a neutral system dead center of the EvE universe.

I don't think you can get a trade hub when any hauler is free to gank :p And yes Jita was self creating. Trade hubs are one of those shining examples of sandbox in action imo. No silly auction house building, just a station that players picked. I'm glad it didn't have an unwieldy name...

Network Effect (most commonly noted and also known as network externality)
Bandwagon Effect (also known as Social Proof)
Hotelling Effect (also known as Location model, SalopGÇÖs Circle Model, etc)
A large percentage of players are Caldari and live in Caldari Space nearby Jita. This is mostly a legacy effect- for a long time, Achura characters had more desirable attributes than most other bloodlines, and prior to that Civire were seen as a somewhat "better" choice for combat pilots and Deteis were popular as industry characters, combined with the early Raven's general power as a combat and mission-running vessel.
Player's Broker Fees, can be reduced with Faction standing and Corporation standing vs. the particular Jita station owner. (Caldari Navy, & Caldari State)
Jita has 6 stations that provide Science and Industry Manufacturing slots (50 spots each station)
Jita has many stations that provide reprocessing facilities.
Jita has Caldari Navy Loyalty point stores
Jita used to provide missions, but no longer does (in order to help keep lag down).
Jita used to provide mineable asteroid belts, but they have been permanently depleted by player over-mining (as decreed
by CCP) - another first for Jita.

It's sort of a social perpetuum mobile.
Once it was put in motion as a hub, if there is no other interferance than the current environment - it will continue to grow.
All it needed was the best location at that time. Now people just go there because of the gravity of money. You can sell everything in jita. You can buy everything in jita. Thanks to those two things and the amounts of liquid isk in that 4-4 station - there is no reason why one should not use jita 4-4 if he's new or old.
Naturally there are still other smaller hubs, but those are maintained also by the laws of the market (better to buy more expensive here and instantly grind more isk than go a long way, get back and effectively after the time - be with less money) and the social aspect of people being lazy as **** and not wanting to go more than 2-3 jumps to get their item.

The "super-highway" gate system that led from empire to empire used to be arranged such that to travel from one empire's space to anothers, you HAD to go thru a system called YULAI.
That let to a huge market there.
It also led to huge lag problems.
Imagine all the jita shopping traffic, and then add to that every pilot that wanted to go from 1 empires space to anothers.
Horrible.
So CCP re-arranged the superhighway.
The big marketeers in eve at the time got together, scouted out places, and collectively decided to move their operations to jita, for various reasons. At the time it had vast ore belts, and level 4 - high quality agent missions. The agents and ore have been moved .. I think? ( I don't go to jita much .. .and I certainly don't hang around to sight-see when I do. )
It still has a huge number of factory slots, and a decent number of laboratories.
It also did and still has a fair bit of travel-thru traffic... it's on the way to places.
When they big folks moved their, the smaller folks followed, and Jita was born, completely of the players. |

lol, didn't know that. I'm pretty sure it wasn't always that way. In fact I think autopilot didn't used to have the avoid function, or maybe it just didn't work very good at first.
Of course autopilot wasn't put in untill towards the end of open beta so... ( people used to pay much more for courier services before autopilot existed, I can tell you that! )

Jita also used to be unavoidable if you were going in certain directions. The gates surrounding it have been re-arranged, so now there is literally no reason to go to jita unless you want to go to jita.
One of those little not-so-obvious things that makes EVE the awesome game that it is. Players built Jita into what it is today, and CCP has simply worked to try to make it function more smoothly. |

As an earlier poster stated it used to Yulai. CCP didn't like the idea of a central hub, so they removed alot of the stargate access to Yulai and the market slowly died there.
Hence the birth of Jita which was now the most accessible central system.
CCP then hired economists to analyze their game and they told them that market hubs can not be curbed no matter what you do, because it's simply human nature to form them and this games very premise is to encourage freedom! |

Santa Cluas was travelling through jita when someone suicide ganked him. Once people heard that news they showed up to loot his bag of toys and goodies, then posted them for sale off of the jita station. That is how it started. |

The most fascinating thing about Jita for me has always been the fact that on Serenity - the chinese server - Jita is also the trade hub, because all the 3rd party infos in the web - referencing TQ - stated that it was.
So everyone went there. So everyone sold there. And thus, it became. |

Yep, agents too. The ice and agents went away at around the same time the gates around jita were moved and the "avoid" was added to AP, 2006, early 2007 I think it was. |

Yesss Yesss avoid Jita like a plague carrier I will.
Actually I have been there and seen it. I even bought stuff there. Point of actual fact I find better deals on things a lot closer to where I operate than Jita is. If you also account for travel time in the cost of things I have no reason to go to Jita. It is nice to know there is a place you can go and find everything in the game for sale in one system for a reasonable price but then I am a simple man and I don;t need everything in the game. In point of fact I just need a handful of ships fitted for whatever task I wish to perform and a place close by to replace them and the fittings should what I am doing cause me to lose one. |

There is no lowsec or nullsec "central hub", but there are regional hubs, especially in Sov nullsec. Most sov holders will usually have their "HQ" system (i.e. VFK-IV for Goons, 6VDT-H for TEST, etc.) and this system will usually serve as the market hub for the alliance and its allies. |

Jita for a bargain? I think not.. You can go two jumps from Jita and get cheaper prices on most anything, and a few more jumps and you can sell for a better price than what Jita buyers are paying. Jita is for suckers and scammers. One place for each party to meet each other in perfect harmony. |
