Description: The enterprise that eventually came to be known as the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, was established in St. Louis, Missouri in 1822 by William Henry Ashley and Andrew Henry. Among the original employees, known as "Ashley's Hundred", was Jedediah Smith, who went on to take a leading role in the company's operations and Jim Bridger, who was among those that bought out Smith and his partners in 1830. It was Bridger and his partners that gave the enterprise the name "Rocky Mountain Fur Company."
