Horace Bélanger
Horace Bélanger (June 11, 1836 – October 1, 1892) was born in Rivière-Ouelle, Lower Canada and became involved in the fur trade with the Hudson's Bay Company.
Missouri Fur Company
The Missouri Fur Company (also known as the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company or the Manuel Lisa Trading Company) was one of the earliest fur trading companies in St. Louis, Missouri.
 Dissolved and reorganized several times, it operated under various names from 1809 until its final dissolution in 1830.
 It was created by a group of fur traders and merchants from St. Louis and Kaskaskia, Illinois, including Manuel Lisa and members of the Chouteau family.
 Its expeditions explored the upper Missouri River and traded with a variety of Native American tribes, and it acted as the prototype for fur trading companies along the Missouri River until the 1820s. Rocky Mountain Rendezvous
Rocky Mountain Rendezvous (in trapper jargon) was an annual gathering (1825–1840) at various locations held by a fur trading company at which trappers and mountain men sold their furs and hides and replenished their supplies.
 The large fur companies put together teamster driven mule trains which packed in whiskey and supplies into a pre-announced location each spring-summer and set up a trading fairthe rendezvousand at the season's end, packed furs out, normally the British Companies to Fort Vancouver in the Pacific Northwest, and to one of the northern Missouri River ports such as St. Joseph, Missouri, if an American overland fur trading company. Fort Vancouver
Fort Vancouver was a 19th-century fur trading post that was the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company's Columbia Department, located in the Pacific Northwest.
 Named for Captain George Vancouver, the fort was located on the northern bank of the Columbia River in present-day Vancouver, Washington.
 The fort was a major center of the regional fur trading.
 Every year trade goods and supplies from London arrived either via ships sailing to the Pacific Ocean or overland from Hudson Bay via the York Factory Express.
 Supplies and trade goods were exchanged with a plethora of Indigenous cultures for fur pelts.
 Furs from Fort Vancouver were often shipped to the Chinese port of Guangzhou where they were traded for Chinese manufactured goods for sale in the United Kingdom.
 At its pinnacle, Fort Vancouver watched over 34 outposts, 24 ports, six ships, and 600 employees.
 Today, a full-scale replica of the fort, with internal buildings, has been constructed and is open to the public as Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. Northern Traders Company
The Northern Traders Company was an enterprise engaged in the fur trading business in the Canadian North, with outposts in the Athabasca-Mackenzie River district in Alberta and the Northwest Territories during the early 20th century.
 They were in direct competition with the Hudson's Bay Company and controlled an estimated 8% of the fur trading market in the north by 1922.
 Its principal was Colonel J.K. "Peace River Jim" Cornwall who got a start in the Peace River and Lesser Slave Lake district in the early 1900s and expanded north after the 1911 takeover of Hislop & Nagle and their fur trading posts in the Northwest Territories.
 Northern Traders were engaged in river transportation, primarily to service its own fur trading posts, but they also provided commercial passenger and freight service on their steam-driven vessels.
 The company went into receivership in 1926 and struggled to remain in business for the next seven years while under the management of creditors.
 In 1931, the company was liquidated, with all stock being sold to the Hudson's Bay Company, and its transportation arm being sold and reorganized as Northern Waterways Limited. Lamson &amp; Hubbard Trading Company
Lamson & Hubbard Trading Company (also referred to as Lamson & Hubbard Canadian Co. or Lamson Trading Co.) was an enterprise engaged in the fur trading business in the Canadian North, with over fourteen outposts in the Athabasca-Mackenzie River district in Alberta and the Northwest Territories during the early 20th century.
 They were in direct competition with the Hudson's Bay Company and controlled an estimated 10% of the fur trading market in the north by 1922.
 Lamson & Hubbard were engaged in river transportation, primarily to service its own isolated fur trading posts along the Mackenzie River, but also to provide commercial service through its wholly owned subsidiary Alberta & Arctic Transportation Company incorporated in 1921.
 Its flagship on the Alberta to Arctic river route was the "S.S. Distributor" steam-driven paddlewheeler launched in 1920 at Fort Smith, Northwest Territories to service its posts along the Mackenzie River all the way to the delta where it meets the Arctic Ocean. Fort Victoria (British Columbia)
Fort Victoria began as a fur trading post of the Hudson’s Bay Company and was the headquarters of HBC operations in the Columbia District, a large fur trading area now part of the province of British Columbia, Canada and the U.S. state of Washington.
 Construction of Fort Victoria in 1843 highlighted the beginning of a permanent British settlement now known as Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia.
 The fort itself was demolished in November 1864 as the town continued to grow as a commercial centre serving the local area as well as trading with California, Washington Territory, the United Kingdom, and others. Old Fort Providence
Old Fort Providence, located near the mouth of Yellowknife Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada, was one of the first fur trading outposts on Great Slave Lake.
 Peter Pond of the North West Company first proposed trading with the Dene around Great Slave Lake in 1786.
 In 1789, Alexander Mackenzie initiated a period of trade with the Yellowknives and Tłı̨chǫ (formerly known as Dogrib) Dene and instructed his assistant, Laurent Leroux, to start a trading post in this area.
 The post was not a major centre for fur trading and was used primarily as a supply centre for other, more important trading posts or expeditions.
 It served, for example, as a base of supply for Sir John Franklin's Coppermine Expedition towards the Arctic Ocean in 1820.
 It was located within a productive fishery used for generations by the Dene around Yellowknife Bay and helped supply meat and fish for traders at Great Slave Lake.
 The Hudson's Bay Company took over the post in 1821 after the demise of the North West Company, but the settlement was in decline and it closed in 1823.
 The buildings have long since decayed but the ruins were excavated in 1969-1971. Hudson's Bay Trading Company
Hudson's Bay Trading Company, L.P. was an American portfolio company for NRDC Equity Partners, a private equity company.
