Trading posts, vital to the economy of the frontier days, have held a significant place in American history. They facilitated trade, provided essential goods, and connected people and communities as vibrant social centers.

More than just places to exchange goods and services, posts were the beating heart of frontier communities. They shared news and gossip, forged friendships, and woven the fabric of society. They even served as banks in some remote areas, further cementing their hub role.

Out west, trading posts became a significant source of commerce. The Native Americans would trade furs, hides, and crafts for manufactured goods like tools, clothes, and food. These posts were hubs for various goods, from everyday necessities to luxury items.

These early trading posts, humble one-room stores that sold essential goods, evolved as they mirrored societal changes. They grew in size and scope, stocking a wider range of goods and becoming more than just a place to trade. They became meeting points where travelers and locals could swap stories and goods and showcase the artistry of Native American artisans.

The longest continuously operating post in the Southwest is the Hubbell Trading Post in northeastern Arizona. In the 1960s, the National Park Service bought the trading post and made it a national historic site, with one catch: It would remain a working trading post.
