Why was ruperts land called ruperts land?
Rupert's Land refers to a large land grant made to The Hudson's Bay Company by King Charles II of England in May of 1670 at the dawn of the North American fur trade explosion. The land grant was issued for a term of 200 years and comprised of the "Seas, Streightes, Bayes, Rivers, Lakes, Creekes and Soundes in whatsoever Latitude they shall bee that lye within the entrance of the Streightes commonly called Hudsons Streightes..." (sic). Essentially, all of the land that Hudson's Bay drained into. As knowledge of the overall geography of North America was vague at this time, it is doubtful the King realized he was essentially granting all the land north to the North Pole; west to the Pacific Ocean; and south to the point where the claim abutted claims by other British subjects, or other states. The name "Rupert's Land" comes from the first governor of The Hudson's Bay Company, the King's cousin, Prince Rupert.

What areas of land does Rupert's land cover?
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.
