HUDSONS BAY COMPANY The Hudson's Bay Company is the one of the oldest merchandising company in the English speaking world, and played a profound role in the development of Canada. The Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company were the two major fur trading enterprises to open up the wilderness that was later to become the country of Canada. In 1665, England backed the first trade venture to reach the interior of the North American continent via the Hudson's Bay. In 1668, the first ships were dispatched to the New World, and the company was chartered on May 2, 1670 by the name of the "Governor and Company of Adventurers". The company was given considerable power, and was allowed to be the only company granted the right to trade in what they called "Rupert's Land" - all the land that was traversed by rivers flowing into the Hudson's Bay. Until 1763, the Hudson's Bay Company struggled in competition with the Montreal based Northwest Company for control of the fur trade of southern Rupert's Land. The North west company employed mostly French Canadian's. It urged its employees to live among the Indians who provided the furs. This racial merging resulted in a people of distinct ethnic identity: the Metis. The Metis language was a combination of French, Cree and several other Indian dialects, and their religion was catholic. A series of naval and land battles took place on the Hudson's and James Bay. The treaty of Utrecht in 1713 acknowledged England's claim to the Hudson Bay, and the Hudson's Bay Company continued to expand its empire, erecting trading posts along major rivers flowing into the Bay, then later expanded inland. In 1821 the London based Hudson's Bay Company absorbed the North West Company, and the British Parliament expanded the company's monopoly rights to include the North West Territories.

The company was created in 1670 to trade animal pelts for goods at remote outposts across North America. But by 1991 the appetite for fur has pretty much dried up and The Bay is cutting its losses. It's a sad day for some 100,000 Canadians employed in the fur industry, but the anti-fur lobby is claiming a huge victory. Did You Know?

Its numerous trading posts were fought over by English and French battleships until the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

The Company insisted on meticulous record-keeping and ensured most records remained in its possession. It is an extraordinary collection of books, letters, ledgers, ships' logs, pictures, photographs, maps and reports. Founded by Royal Charter in 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company is the oldest chartered trading company in the world. The Company's archives contain the only known documents for numerous eighteenth-century settlements in Canada, including Churchill, Manitoba; Moose Factory and Albany, Ontario; Rupert House and Eastmain, Québec; Cumberland House, Saskatchewan; and Edmonton, Alberta. The records of the HBC are of special historical value due to their continuity. For example, all of the Company Minute Books covering a period of more than three hundred years have survived except for the years 1670-1671 and 1674-1679. The extensive Company archives include original handwritten journals, correspondence and accounts of more than five hundred HBC trading posts (1688-1949), Company ships' logs, original maps and plans, various journals of travel and exploration and other Company or related documentation that accumulated in HBC files in the years since 1671. Also part of the archives is a photograph collection, an art collection and a small, specialized library.

Founding The company was founded as a result of the exploration of the region by Pierre Radisson and the sieur des Groseilliers in 1668–69 under the auspices of London merchants. The expedition's success in opening up the fur trade with the Native Americans prompted Prince Rupert, Charles's cousin, and others to appeal to the king for a charter. A preliminary charter seems to have been granted that year, but it was not until 1670 that the much-discussed permanent charter was granted to these “Gentlemen Adventurers trading into Hudson's Bay.” It conferred on them not only a trading monopoly but practically sovereign rights in the region specified as that drained by rivers flowing into Hudson Bay. The extent of this vast region was not then known, nor was it fully known for about a century. Early Years The company's monopoly was not respected by other English traders. The Great Company, as the Hudson's Bay Company was known, did a highly profitable business, but Hudson Bay was claimed also by the French, who sent expeditions against the posts that recently had been established near the mouths of the Moose, Albany, Severn, and Nelson rivers. Warfare went on, almost regardless of whether there was peace or war between the two nations in Europe, until after the Peace of Utrecht (1713–14). The French on the whole were more successful than the British in the conflict over control of the posts, but ultimately all of Hudson Bay was recognized as British territory. Rivalry, however, continued between the French traders from Montreal and Quebec and the Hudson's Bay men.

Trade in animal skins and pelts had gone on since antiquity, but reached its height in the wilderness of North America from the 17th to the early 19th cent. The demand for furs was an important factor in the commercial life of all the British and Dutch seaboard colonies, as well as of S Louisiana, Texas, and the far Southwest. But its effect in opening the wilderness was even more striking in Canada, where the rivers and lakes offered avenues to the heart of the continent. The speed with which fur traders traveled halfway across the continent was remarkable. The Great Lakes region was extensively exploited by men buying furs from the Native Americans before the end of the 17th cent. The effect on the indigenous peoples who received the white man's goods (including firearms and liquor, as well as diseases previously unknown to them) in exchange for the furs was cataclysmic; native cultures were overturned. This process also occurred among the natives of far NE Siberia as Russian traders reached that remote region in the 18th cent.

Its initials have often been farcically interpreted as "Here Before Christ". From its longtime headquarters at York Factory on Hudson Bay it controlled the fur trade throughout much of British -controlled North America for several centuries, undertaking early exploration and functioning as the de facto government in many areas of the continent prior to the arrival of large-scale settlement. Its traders and trappers forged early relationships with many groups of First Nations Native Americans and its network of trading posts formed the nucleus for later official authority in many areas of western Canada and the United States . In the late 19th century its vast territory became the largest component in the newly formed Dominion of Canada, in which the company was the largest private landowner. With the decline of the fur trade, the company evolved into mercantile business selling vital goods to settlers in the Canadian West. Today the company is best known for its
