 | | Throughout the 1820s and 1830s the company controlled nearly all trading operations in the Oregon Country, based out of the company headquarters at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River. |
 | | Although authority over the region was nominally shared by the U.S. and Britain through the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, company policy, enforced via Chief John McLoughlin of the company's Columbia District, was to actively discourage U.S. settlement of the territory. |
 | | Current members of the board of directors of the Hudson's Bay Company are: David Colceugh, Yves Fortier, David Galloway, Paul Gobeil, Kerry Hawkins, George Heller, Barbara Hislop, James Hume, Donna Kaufman, Peter Kaursland, Thomas A. Knowlton, and Peter Mills. |
