First European settlement of the territory of New Albion began with the establishment of the Ericson Bay Company. From 1670 until the partition of the Ericson Bay Territory in 1824 European settlement consisted mostly of fur traders and trading post staff, with the exception of York Factory, which saw the settlement of a terraforming team to ensure the surrounding land was able to be cultivated to support the population. This mostly consisted of the establishment of heating grids in order to keep air and ground temperature at a level allowing farming.

| - First European settlement of the territory of New Albion began with the establishment of the Ericson Bay Company. From 1670 until the partition of the Ericson Bay Territory in 1824 European settlement consisted mostly of fur traders and trading post staff, with the exception of York Factory, which saw the settlement of a terraforming team to ensure the surrounding land was able to be cultivated to support the population. This mostly consisted of the establishment of heating grids in order to keep air and ground temperature at a level allowing farming. In 1664 Hanseatic Explorer Friedrich Ostermann, for who the Ostermann River, Ostermann Strait, Ostermann Islands, and later the Ostermann territory were named brought word of massive trees in the northwest of Vinlandia. In order to beat the Hanseatics to the area, High Archon Henry York approved the charter for the Northwest Company, headed by John FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare. The first Northwest Company post, Fort Henry, was founded on the southern bank of the mouth of the Ostermann River in 1677. Johnstown, the first major settlement in the Ostermann territory was founded on the north bank of the Kildare river in FitzGerald Bay in 1679 and the headquarters of the Northwest Company was moved there in 1682. The Colossal Maple became the staple product for the Ostermann territory. The enormous trees provided both a hard, buoyant wood that was invaluable in shipmaking, boiling the sap produced a syrup sweetener similar to that produced from the sugar maples of Vinland, though a single tree could produce the same sap quantity of 10 sugar maples. With the Colossal Maples and vast supplies of fir and cedar, the Northwest Company rather than shipping all its lumber to Britain for processing, decided to develop the area for shipbuilding. By 1688, Jamestown's population had reached nearly 8,000 inhabitants and was the second largest settlement on the west coast of Vinlandia behind the Hanseatic settlement of Neu Hamburg.
