The Northeast was historically abundant in beaver pelts, which were in high demand in Europe. This led to the establishment of a trade system between Europeans and Native Americans, facilitating the exchange of goods like clothing, fabric, food, and tools. This trade not only enriched both parties but also played a significant role in the development of large settlements in the region, laying the groundwork for many of the major Northeastern cities we know today.
