Hudson, River port city in Columbia County, New York, United States
Hudson extends along the eastern bank of the Hudson River, featuring streets lined with Federal and Victorian buildings across its 2.3 square miles.
Founded in 1785 by Quaker merchants from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the settlement grew into a commercial port that nearly became New York's state capital.
The city maintains numerous art galleries, performance spaces, and antique shops in restored 18th and 19th-century buildings along Warren Street.
Hudson station provides direct Amtrak train connections to New York City and Albany, with multiple daily services in both directions.
The city experienced transformation from a whaling port to an industrial center, and now functions as an arts destination with over 50 antique dealers.
