The pilgrimage to Mecca (the Hajj) has, as it's most important day of the five to eight day event, the "standing" at Arafah. The Mount of Mercy, as it is called, is a hill within the large valley called Arafah.
It is not essential to stand on the Mount of Mercy, though many people do because Muhammad did. What is important is to spend the entire day within the area called Arafah. On that day - the ninth day of the twelfth month (called Thul-Hijjah, or "the month of the Hajj") God causes His Mercy to descend upon all who are gathered there sincerely for the worship of Him Alone.
What happened in the time of Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the Mount of Mercy was that, during the pilgrimage, Muhammad stood on that hill and addressed the people. In that address in that pilgrimage (which is called the "farewell Pilgrimage" due to the fact that Muhammad died before the next year) the Prophet of God expressed many important things to his nation. he also hinted that he would not be alive the coming year to make the pilgrimage again.
If you are interested, you can Google the "Farewell Pilgrimage" and read a copy of the sermon he gave.

What is the importance of Arafat Day?
The 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah (the Month of Hajj, the 12th month in Islam Lunar Calendar) is called the Day of Arafat. This day is the culminating event of the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Day of Arafat falls on the 2nd day of pilgrimage rituals. At dawn of this day, some 2 million Muslim pilgrims or more make their way from Mecca to a nearby hillside and plain called Mount Arafat and the Plain of Arafat. It was from this site that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, gave his famous Farewell Sermon in his final year of life. During the entire day, from dawn until sunset, Muslim pilgrims stand in earnest supplication and devotion, praying for God's abundant forgiveness. Tears are shed readily as those who gather make repentance and seek God's mercy, recite words of prayer and remembrance, and gather together as equals before their Lord. Muslims around the world who are not participating in the pilgrimage often spend this day in fasting and devotion.

Why did Mecca become important for trade and religion?
Mecca is the most holy place in the Islamic world , simply because of the existence of Al-Kaaba in this city. Al-Kaaba is called (Bayt Allah alharam) i.e the sacred house of Allah, it was first built by the prophet Abraham & his son Ismael peace be upon them & rebuilt" maintinance" many times during its history & it was holy even before Islam especially for the Arabs. It's what all Muslims wish to see so that the piligrimage is a great spiritual pleasure for a Muslim that it makes him/her an eyewitness of that beauty in addition to the favours of performing this pillar. Also, keep in mind that All Muslims must turn to Al-Kaaba & face it when they pray to Allah (God) regardless of where they are, so they turn to it at least 5 times a day. Besides , the prophet Muhammad PBUH was born in Mecca & loved it alot as his birthplace/ homeland. Allah gives the Muslim when praying in Almasjid Alharam,where the Kaaba is, extra recompense & favours that the prophet Muhammad PBUH told that one prayer in this mosque is equal to 100,000 prayers in any other mosque in the world. so no wonder for any Muslim to adore that great place & to strongly like visiting it many times. Historically, Mecca was a centre of Arabic culture especially the occasions of fluent Arabic poems & the place where many activites were carried out such as trading.
