A trading post is a place where people trade goods and stuff. In the 15th century trading posts were built by European traders along the coasts of Africa and Asia as a base for trade with the interior. Trading posts or 'Factories' were islands of European law and sovereignty, but European authority seldom extended very far beyond the fortified post.
