HUDSON, NEW YORK |
 |
Warren Street in Hudson, NY
|
Mohican Indians originally inhabited the area. During the 17th century
the Dutch settled there. In 1785, seafaring and merchant Quakers from
Massachusetts and Rhode Island purchased the present day site of Hudson,
then known as Claverack Landing. That same year, Hudson was incorporated
and became the third city in the State of New York.
Early industry revolved around shipbuilding and related commerce as well
as whaling and shipping of agricultural products and lumber from Columbia
County and western Massachusetts. Hudson kept up with the commercial times
and maintained a leadership role in area steamboat shipping and railroad
commerce.
Being a seaport, Hudson attracted its share of vice and illegal activities.
These activities continued in the city until well into the 20th century
when changes in Hudson's commercial and transportation industries caused
the city to go into commercial decline.
In the late 20th century Hudson reemerged as a vital commercial player
when new industries and commerce began to move back into the area. The
scenic city, with its wealth of history and its largely intact architecture,
became a perfect location for artists and galleries, specialty shops,
antique dealers, and upscale bistros and restaurants. A stroll down Warren
Street attests to the vitality and resilience of this great Hudson River
city.
