Rupert's Land was created to serve as a vast territory for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in the 17th century, primarily for fur trading. Named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine, the land was granted to the HBC by King Charles II in 1670, allowing the company exclusive trading rights over the area. This designation facilitated the organization and expansion of the fur trade in North America, significantly impacting the economic and social landscape of the region. Ultimately, Rupert's Land played a crucial role in the development of Canada.
