The land around the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, known as the Great Lakes region, was historically rich in furs, particularly beaver pelts. This area was crucial for fur trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, attracting European traders and Indigenous peoples who engaged in fur trapping and trading. The abundance of wildlife and the region's waterways facilitated transportation and trade, making it a significant economic hub in early North American history.
