Fort Ross was established by Ivan Kuskov of the Russian-American Company in 1812 as krepost' rus' ("Russian fortress") upon the seasonal home of the native Kashaya Pomo, and was a thriving settlement from 1812 to 1841. The Company was chartered by the Russian government and controlled all Russian exploration, trade and settlement in the North Pacific, establishing permanent settlements in Alaska. Fort Ross was the southernmost settlement in the Russian colonization of the region, and was established as an agricultural base to supply the Alaskan settlements. Initially the Company carried on their fur trading business at Fort Ross, but the focus of this settlement was on agriculture and small industry.
