The territory north of the Great Lakes was claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company. Established in 1670, the company played a significant role in the fur trade and exploration of Canada and the northern United States. Its claims were rooted in the fur trading activities and land agreements with Indigenous peoples, leading to extensive territorial control in the region.
