Hudson Bay Company.
Founded in 1670, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) is North America's oldest corporation, established to control the fur trade in Rupert's Land, covering 40% of modern Canada. It transitioned from a fur-trading monopoly into a major retail department store chain before filing for bankruptcy in 2023, with liquidation initiated in March 2025.
