High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! York Factory was a factory (trading post) centered 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. The former company complex is now owned by the Canadian government and operated by Parks Canada as the York Factory National Historic Site of Canada. Aside from a summer residence for Parks Canada staff and nearby seasonal hunting camps there is currently no one living at York Factory. The wooden structure at the park site dates from 1831 and is the oldest and largest wooden structure in Canada built on permafrost.
