Show detail Hide detail

Hudson's Bay Company : The Assiniboine Wool Company originated in 1829 at Red River to promote sheep farming in the Assiniboine District. The company was developed by Governor George Simpson, the major shareholder, and was capitalized at 60,000 with 1200 shares at 50 each. The company requested a grant of 200,000 acres of land from the Hudson's Bay Company, but difficulties were encountered in procuring an adequate flock and in 1832, the project was abandoned.
