The Compagnie du Nord was founded in 1682 by Canadian merchants, with their director Charles Aubert de La Chesnaye, to begin at Hudson Bay by sea what the English had been successful in creating in 1670, known as the Hudson's Bay Company, with the help of Pierre-Esprit Radisson and his brother in law Médard Chouart Des Groseilliers.
In 1689 the Compagnie du Nord asked Jacques Le Moyne to try out a new route to Hudson Bay.
