In 1954, the Hudson's Bay Company was in fact based in London, England, and had British governors. This practice began in 1670, and ended in 1970 when it became a Canadian company and headquarters were transferred over to Canada. In 2006, the company was once again transferred to another area - this time North America. It is now American owned.
The Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670, making it the oldest commercial company in North America. It was originally a trader of fur goods, and now has retail stores across Canada selling a variety of clothing products. The company has a long and complex history, given its decades of existence, involving trading in different countries and many ownership changes. It is now very popular with the public, selling relatively high end products that attract those of the younger generation. It incorporates its historical image into the goods it sells through the traditional Hudson's Bay Company logo.
