'Rupert's Land' was named after Prince Rupert. It was owned and controlled by the Hudson's Bay Company. Prince Rupert was its first governor. It was a proprietory British commercial colony, mainly trading in furs. The name 'Rupert's Land' fell into disuse when it was transferred to and absorbed into Canada.
