It is still doing business. In fact, I have a Hudson's Bay Company Mastercard. Until recently, I had a Hudson's Bay Company credit card as well. 2. The Hudson's Bay Company was not "founded" in "Eastern Canada." It was Chartered in England. 3. King Charles II incorporated, by Royal Charter, on May 2, 1670, "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay."

The company was founded on 2 May 1670 under the patronage of Prince Rupert after a voyage in 1668 had proved that access to the fur trade could be established through Hudson Bay. The company fought the French for control of the bay until 1713. Its territorial rights were sold to the dominion of Canada in 1869, but the company continued to trade.
Rupert's Land no longer exists. The Hudson's Bay Company was incorporated by Royal Charter on May 2, 1670. Prince Rupert, a cousin of the king, was the most prominent shareholder of the Hudson's Bay Company. The land granted to the Hudson's Bay Company by the Charter came to be called Rupert's Land. The land included in the grant was the entire drainage area of present day Hudson Bay (including James Bay). This was roughly two-thirds of modern day Canada, plus large portions of the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Around 1870, the Hudson's Bay Company transferred its rights in the land to Canada, and Britain transferred the territory to Canada, thus bringing Rupert's Land to an end. Today, the Hudson's Bay Company continues as the world's oldest commercial corporation.
The reason for why it was created it because the super powers of Europe such as France and The United Kingdom were at competition at the time to see who has a dominant country (who was more superior) and at that time King Charles the second thought of creating a fur trading company under the Hudson's bay so Britain would be a superior country, I hope this helped
