A state-sponsored company of Imperial Russia. It was established with the objectives of managing colonies in North America (Alaska) and developing trade in the Far East and the North Pacific. It was founded in 1799 with its headquarters in Irkutsk, but moved to St. Petersburg in 1800. The government granted it the exclusive right to hunt fur-bearing animals and use and sell mineral resources in Alaska, the Aleut Islands, and the Kuril Islands, and shares were held by members of the imperial family and high-ranking officials. In Alaska, it established its base in Novo-Arkhangelsk (now Sitka), and under the leadership of capable managers such as Baranov and Wrangel, it made profits by competing with American and British traders.
