Moscow's Trubnaya Square owes its name to the hole that city residents made in the wall of one of the towers of the White City for the passage of the Neglinnaya River along it. They called this hole nothing more than a pipe, while the market, which was adjacent to the outer walls, also received the appropriate name - Trubny.

It was a place where there were a number of blacksmiths near the water and a market where all kinds of forest products were sold — log cabins, logs, boards, frames, doors, carts and other wooden utensils. Therefore, Trubnaya Square in the past centuries was primarily known as a market square. It became especially popular among Muscovites and guests of the capital after the bird market was organized here in 1840, which lasted until the 1920s. Citizens had their own customs associated with this market. For example, for the Annunciation Day, people bought a live bird here, and then immediately released it into the wild.

In the middle of the 19th century, Trubnaya Square (in its northern part, closer to Tsvetnoy Boulevard) began to sell all kinds of garden products, such as seeds, flowers, seedlings. During the holidays, Trubnaya Square turned into a place of fun and large-scale folk festivals.

Today, Trubnaya's traditions continue to live on: there are many shops and restaurants on the square.
