Hudson

Towns

Henry Hudson was probably the first European explorer to visit the site of what is now the City of Hudson, in his ship the "Half Moon" in 1609. Mohican Indians inhabited the area then, and continued to habit the area until much later. The Dutch arrived in the 17th Century and developed the area of Greenport and Hudson. In 1783, a group of seafaring men from Massachusetts and Rhode Island were seeking a safe harbor for their vessels because of attacks by the British Navy. When they saw Claverack Landing with its high bluffs, deep waters, and two bays, they appointed a committee which proceeded to buy large tracts of land, much more extensive than what is now Hudson.
Today, Hudson is known for its Antique Shops and Art Galleries, that draw visitors from throughout the Tri-State area and New England.
