Why Jita? I understand that somewhere had to become the major trade hub, but why in this location rather than Dodixie or some other location? Is it due to a higher population of Caldari players at some point generating a slightly larger market that then pulled ahead of the others?
Thanks for the history lesson.

Jita is connected to many regions and has many routes leading to/from it.
Also, I think people probably started liking it more because I think Jita was a place in starwars that was a trading hub?
And yeh, majority of Eve players are Caldari.

I guess that its becus most players use a raven to do kill missions, and chars started for mission running would be chossen as caldari i guess...
and back in the days, caldari was the mostly chossen race. (seen from my side)
jita and surrounding area has lots of agents too :)
so all this makes a trade hub. Major reason is the amount of mission runners in the area.
As then Rens, Dodixie and Amarr has become trade hubs to.

For some more info on the existence of JIta, and trade HUBs in general , you might want to look at Hexxx¦s post here..
Critical mass and more..
My personal take on it is that inadvertently ccp actions shook the tree, and the HUBs in existance prior to the highway change was forced to move.

A long, long time ago, there used to be a system called Yulai. Yulai had stargate connections to all the Empires capitals, Amarr, Ourselaert, Rens, and some other minor systems. Yulai become the main trade hub as people from all over Empire space could get there very fast and easily due to the highways.
Then the highways were removed, and Jita became the main trade hub for the simple reason it was packed with Caldari lvl 3 and 4 agents, and a lot of the Caldari missionrunners were already there for their missionrunning, and bought and sold their items there. A while into the post-Yulai era, everyone and their cat started going to Jita. Fast forward a few years, and now Jita is the black hole it is known for. |

As Astarte said it was a long time ago, before all out troubles, and the floor of the JIta exchange and trade halls got so crowded the oxygen supplies alone should have spiked catastrophically..
