The Economic History of the Fur Trade: 1670 to 1870. Ann M. Carlos, University of Colorado Frank D. Lewis, Queenâs University Introduction. A commercial fur trade in North America grew out of the early contact between Indians and European fisherman who were netting cod on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland and on the Bay of GaspÃ© near Quebec.
With the conquest of New France in 1763, the French trade shifted to Scottish merchants operating out of Montreal. After the negotiation of Jayâs Treaty (1794), the northern border was defined and trade along the Mississippi passed to the American Fur Company under John Jacob Astor. In 1821, the northern participants merged under the name of the Hudsonâs Bay Company, and for many decades this merged company continued to trade in furs. Finally, in the 1990s, under pressure from animal rights groups, the Hudsonâs Bay Company, which in the twentieth century had become a large Canadian retailer, ended the fur component of its operation.
