The HBC was founded on 2 May 1670 when King Charles granted a charter to his cousin Prince Rupert and his associates.
Why was the Hudson Bay Company important for settlers?
They were the only place to get the advanced European technology, like stuff made of metal, cloth and anything else that could be traded for. The HBC was everything a store could be and more, they even delivered mail. The larger trading forts had many important amenities, like a Church and Priest, the Factor controlled everything and could act as a judge. The HBC was not just important for settlers, they were important to everybody. In the early days they would even keep enough food to keep everyone alive until the next ships could bring food. Of course time changed and so did the role of the HBC. Eventually they became a local store but not just any store, they always had products other stores, stores from the east, wouldn't stock.
