The American Fur Company (AFC) was founded in 1808, by John Jacob Astor, a German immigrant to the United States. During the 18th century, furs had become a major commodity in Europe, and North America became a major supplier. Several British companies, most notably the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, were eventual competitors against Astor and capitalized on the lucrative trade in furs. Astor capitalized on anti-British sentiments and his commercial strategies to become one of the first trusts in American business and a major competitor to the British commercial dominance in North American fur trade.

  • American Fur Company – powstała na początku XIX wieku firma zajmująca się pozyskiwaniem i handlem cennymi futrami dzikich zwierząt (jak np. bobry, gronostaje, czy wydry morskie) odławianych przez Indian północnoamerykańskich i białych – głównie brytyjskich, francuskich i amerykańskich – traperów i myśliwych. Ekspedycja lądowa miała własne problemy.

  • American Fur Company var ett företag som grundades 1808 av John Jacob Astor som ett led i hans strävan att försöka monopolisera pälshandeln i USA, vilket han också i stort sett lyckades med. Omkring 1830 kontrollerades mer än 90 % av pälshandeln i USA av American Fur Company, delvis genom dotterbolagen Pacific Fur Company och Southwest Fur Company. Astor sålde sin andel i företaget 1834. köpte kompaniets "Northern Department" och fortsatte verksamheten under det gamla namnet. Pierre Chouteau, Jr. köpte "Western Department" och kallade det Pratte, Chouteau & Company. (sv)
