The American settlements that profited from exporting furs were primarily New England and New Amsterdam.
-
New England had a thriving fur trade, particularly in the early colonial period, leveraging its relationships with Indigenous peoples for fur procurement.
-
New Amsterdam (which later became New York) was also a significant center for the fur trade, especially under Dutch control, where fur trading companies, like the Dutch West India Company, established strong trading networks.
Santa Fe was more focused on trade and agriculture, while Quebec, though a significant center for the fur trade, was part of New France and not an American settlement in the same sense as the others mentioned.
