Question: When was the settlement Joseph Smith was en route to when he died first built?
Context: York Factory was a settlement and Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) factory (trading post) located on the southwestern shore of Hudson Bay in northeastern Manitoba, Canada at the mouth of the Hayes River, approximately 200 km south-southeast of Churchill.  York Factory was one of the first fur-trading posts established by the HBC, built in 1684 and used in that business for more than 270 years.  The settlement was headquarters of the HBC's Northern Department from 1821 to 1873.  The complex was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1936. In the Latter Day Saint movement, the President of the Church is generally considered to be the highest office of the church.  It was the office held by Joseph Smith, founder of the movement, and the office assumed by many of Smith's claimed successors, such as Brigham Young, Joseph Smith III, Sidney Rigdon, and James Strang.  Several other titles have been associated with this office, including First Elder of the church, Presiding High Priest, President of the High Priesthood, Trustee-in-Trust for the church, Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Translator.  Joseph Smith was known by all of these titles in his lifetime (although not necessarily with consistency). The Joseph Smith Translation (JST; also called the Inspired Version (IV)) is a revision of the Bible by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.  Smith considered this work to be "a branch of his calling" as a prophet.  Smith was murdered before he ever deemed it complete, though most of his work on it was performed about a decade beforehand.  The work is the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) with some significant additions and revisions.  It is considered a sacred text and is part of the canon of the Community of Christ (CoC), formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and other Latter Day Saint churches.  Selections from the Joseph Smith Translation are also included in the footnotes and the appendix of the LDS-published King James Version of the Bible, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has only officially canonized certain excerpts that appear in its Pearl of Great Price.  These excerpts are the Book of Moses and Smith's revision of part of the Gospel of Matthew. Polygamy, or plural marriage, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints probably originated with the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, who taught that polygamy was a divine commandment.  Smith practiced it personally, by some accounts marrying more than 30 women some of whom had existing marriages to other men.  Evidence for Smith's position is provided by the church's "sealing" records, public marriage licenses (in many cases notarized), affidavits, letters, and journals and diaries; however, until his death, Smith and the leading church quorums denied that he preached or practiced polygamy.  Smith's son Joseph Smith III, his widow Emma Smith, and the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church, now called the Community of Christ) challenged the evidence and taught that Joseph Smith had opposed polygamy.  They instead claimed that Brigham Young, the head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), introduced plural marriage after Smith's death.  In 1852, leaders of the Utah-based LDS Church acknowledged that Smith taught and practiced polygamy. Joseph Smith III (November 6, 1832 – December 10, 1914) was the eldest surviving son of Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and Emma Hale Smith.  Joseph Smith III was the Prophet-President of what became known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, now called Community of Christ, which considers itself a continuation of the church established by Smith's father in 1830.  For fifty-four years until his own death, Smith presided over the church.  Smith's ideas and nature set much of the tone for the church's development. History of Joseph Smith by His Mother is a biography of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, according to his mother, Lucy Mack Smith.  It was originally titled Biographical Sketches of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, and His Progenitors for Many Generations and was published by Orson Pratt in Liverpool in 1853. Alexander Hale Smith (June 2, 1838 – August 12, 1909) was the third surviving son of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale Smith.  Smith was born in Far West, Missouri, and was named after Alexander Doniphan, who had once refused an extermination order to execute Joseph Smith, then had acted as Joseph's defense attorney during Joseph's incarceration at Liberty Jail.  Alexander eventually became a senior leader of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church, now Community of Christ).  Smith served as an apostle and as Presiding Patriarch of the church.  He became religiously inclined after the April 1862 death of his older brother Frederick G. W. Smith (b. 1836), who had not been baptized, and was baptized on May 25, 1862, in Nauvoo, Illinois, by another older brother, Joseph Smith III. The known history of Nauvoo, Illinois, starts with the Sauk and Fox tribes who frequented the area.  They called the area "Quashquema", named in honor of the Native American chief who headed a Sauk and Fox settlement numbering nearly 500 lodges.  Permanent settlement by non-natives was reportedly begun in 1824 by Captain James White.  By 1827 other white settlers had built cabins in the area.  By 1829 this area of Hancock County had grown sufficiently so that a post office was needed, and in 1832 the town, now called "Venus", was one of the contenders for the new county seat.  However, the nearby city of Carthage was selected instead.  In 1834 the name Venus was changed to "Commerce" because the settlers felt that the new name better suited their plans.  In late 1839, arriving Mormons bought the small town of Commerce, and in April 1840 it was renamed "Nauvoo" (a Hebrew word meaning "beautiful place" or "city beautiful") by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.  Nauvoo grew rapidly and for a few years was one of the most populous cities in Illinois.  Within two years of Joseph Smith's death by a mob in 1844, most of the population had departed, fleeing armed violence.  Most headed west with the group led by Brigham Young. Search for the Truth (also known by the name Jesus Christ/Joseph Smith in its DVD form) is an anti-Mormon video produced by Tri-Grace Ministries.  The video begins with the claim that Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith were “two of the worlds most prominent and influential men.”  It then presents what it claims to be the teachings of Joseph Smith and contrasts them to what it claims to be the teachings of Jesus Christ.  A question is raised regarding whether the movements which the video classifies as “Christianity” and “Mormonism” are compatible, despite the claim by both that “Jesus is the Christ.”  The video takes portions of the Book of Mormon and compares it to the Bible.  The video implies that you have to follow Jesus or Joseph Smith but not both. Joseph Smith was a British fur trader and explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company.  He was one of the first Europeans to explore the interior of what later became Canada from Hudson Bay.  Smith died June 1765 en route to York Factory from the Saskatchewan country.  Smith’s explorations played an important role in opening up the interior of western Canada to European trade, and his journals provide one of the earliest accounts of Cree life.
