The Exchange in Bristol. A corn exchange (Commonwealth English) or grain exchange (North American English) was a building where farmers and merchants traded cereal grains.uch trade was common in towns and cities across Great Britain and Ireland until the 19th century, but as the trade became centralised in the 20th century many such buildings were used for other purposes. Several have since become heritage sites.
Columbus found corn growing in Cuba, and brought some back to Europe. Later, cultivated corn was found growing all the way from Canada to Chile, for it was the main food item of the Aztec, Maya, and Inca Indians. Within one generation of Columbusâs return, corn was growing all over Europe too. In England, the word corn was used for all grains, so the Pilgrims called maize âIndian corn.â This became âcornâ in America, but in England, corn still means âgrain.â What we call corn, the English call maize. The United States produces some seven billion bushels of corn a year, about half the worldâs supply.
