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.

American merchants sought new business opportunities in the wake of the American revolution and the loss of prior trading relations with Great Britain, parts of Europe and in the West Indies.
