Rupert's Land was a vast territory in North America, granted to the Hudson's Bay Company by the British Crown in 1670. Its primary purpose was to facilitate the fur trade, serving as a source of furs and other resources, while also providing a region for the company to establish trading posts and control trade with Indigenous peoples. The land extended over parts of present-day Canada and was significant for both economic development and colonial expansion. Over time, it played a crucial role in shaping Canada’s geographic and political landscape.

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.
