History
The Canada Company was incorporated by royal charter in 1826. The aim of the Company was to obtain land in Canada and to promote its sale to prospective settlers. According to London directories, it had offices at 13 St Helen's Place, Bishopsgate (ca. 1826-67), 1 East India Avenue (ca. 1867-1925), 44 Bedford Row (c 1925-1928), 25 Bishopsgate (ca. 1928-33) and 145 Dashwood House, Old Broad Street (c 1933-1950). Its last appearance in this source was 1950. The Company ceased to operate in 1951 and was liquidated in 1953.
