Missouri Fur Company

Company | Defunct

1809 CE to 1830 CE

The Missouri Fur Company (also known as the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company or the Manuel Lisa Trading Company) is one of the earliest fur trading companies in St. Louis, Missouri.

Dissolved and reorganized several times, it operates under various names from 1809 until its final dissolution in 1830.

It is created by a group of fur traders and merchants from St. Louis and Kaskaskia, Illinois, including Manuel Lisa and members of the Chouteau family.

Its expeditions explore the upper Missouri River and trade with a variety of Native American tribes, and it acts as the prototype for fur trading companies along the Missouri River until the 1820s.
