Wikipedia: York Factory was a factory (trading post) centred settlement located on the southwestern shore of Hudson Bay in northeastern Manitoba, Canada, at the mouth of the Hayes River, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-southeast of Churchill. Though there is currently no permanent population in York Factory, the settlement was the longtime headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company in North America, serving as the company headquarters until 1957. When it was shut down, the indigenous community that had been central to the fur trade operations of the post was relocated by the government.
