Buona parte della storia della baia di Hudson è oscura, nonostante i ricchi archivi di Manitoba, Canada. Il più grande acquisto di terra nella storia canadese fu merito della [[Compagnia della Baia di Hudson]] e dei primi esploratori e cartografi della zona.
Most of the Hudson Bay Company history is not very well known, even with the vast archives available in Manitoba, Canada. The largest land purchase in Canadian history is due to the Hudson Bay Company holdings, and the first explorers and map makers in the area.
