The Hudson's Bay Company was incorporated on May 2, 1670. One of the terms of its charter created it as a proprietary colony of Rupert's Land. Subsequently, the Hudson's Bay Company gained control of the North-Western Territories as well. The Hudson's Bay Company formally relinquished ownership and control of all its territories and transferred same to Canada on July 15, 1870.
The Hudson's Bay Company was chartered on May 2, 1670 by King Charles II.
The Charter incorporated the company, established a proprietory colony which became known as "Rupert's Land" (Prince Rupert having been the cousin of King Charles II), and purported to give the HBC ownership all the land that drained into Hudson Bay.
Many accept the date of July 15, 1870, as the termination of the HBC's ownership. It is the date that Rupert's Land and the North-western Territories were transferred from Britain to Canada, and the same date that the Province of Manitoba was created.
But the actual sale of the land back to the Crown took place on November 19, 1869.
On May 2, 1670, King Charles II of England incorporated, by Royal Charter, 'The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England tradeing [sic] into Hudsons [sic] Bay.' Later, the company became known as 'the Hudson's Bay Company' (HBC). The Charter granted HBC a trading monopoly in an area that comprised all the land that drained into Hudson Bay, and established the HBC as a propriatory colony. In other words, HBC owned the land, governed the land, and had the exclusive right to conduct business within the land. The territory thus owned by HBC was enormous. It included about a third of modern-day Canada, as well as substantial parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, and was known as 'Rupert's Land,' after King Charles' cousin, Prince Rupert.
They owned Northern Lands, Eastern Lands, Western Lands and Southern Lands from 1670 to 1870. The actual area varied with time and politics.

When land owners in England enclosed their lands by erecting fenses and walls, they established greater control over who could use those lands. As a result, many people who had been infomrally using or living there were forced off.

How did Canada gain its westernlands?
They bought them from the Hudsons Bay Company and had other lands transferred to them from Britain. Of course it wasn't that easy as the people already there were not consulted. So Canada sent troops into the land to force the people to accept their rule and then left in place a paramilitary group called the NWMP to ensure Canadian rule was accepted.
