Fur Trade

The first company that established a trading office on the coast of the Pacific Coast Northwest was Pacific Fur Company. New York fur trader John Jacob Astor organized the Pacific Fur Company and decided to exploit the undeveloped areas in the west of Rocky Mountains. Aster 's fur business is well established in the eastern part of the Rocky Mountains. He wishes to control the entire American fur trade. In September 1810, the two parties representing Astor Pacific Far Company began establishing the first trading center on the Columbia River.

Sea Fur Trade is a shipboard fur trading system that focuses on acquiring sea otters and other animal fur from indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska indigenous peoples. Fur traded mainly for tea, silk, porcelain and other Chinese merchandise in China, then sold in Europe and America. Bovine fur trade was pioneered by Russians and traveled east from Kamchatka along the Aleutian Islands to the coast of southern Alaska. British and American entered the 1780s and paid attention to the current coast of British Columbia. Trade flourished at the turn of the 19th century. The long recession began in the 1810s. As the number of sea otters declines, quail trade is diversifying and changing, continuing to focus on the northwest coast and China while developing new markets and products. It lasted until the middle of the 19th century. It was completed around 1840.

The period from 1774 to 1821 was one of the most exciting times in the history of North American fur trade. Prior to 1774, the two major forces in fur trade were largely divided, and Montreal's fur traders were trading in the Great Lakes region in southern Manitoba and western. Based in London, the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) stayed at the fortress on the banks of Hudson's Bay and was waiting for locals to bring fur like a shopkeeper in the UK. However, the problem is that Quebec's "fraudster" intercepted the local people and entered the HBC business by trading on the spot at the doorway.
