Hudson's Hope, District municipality in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia, Canada.

Hudson's Hope sits at 671 meters elevation along the Peace River, with the W.A.C. Bennett Dam and Peace Canyon Dam marking its industrial landscape.

The settlement began in 1805 when Simon Fraser established the Rocky Mountain Portage House as a fur-trading outpost on the Peace River route.

The Hudson's Hope Museum presents local artifacts, natural science exhibits, and hosts the annual fall fair celebrating regional heritage.

The municipality maintains essential services through a council of six members and a mayor, managing public facilities and community development programs.

The construction of Williston Lake modified the local climate, creating longer growing seasons reaching 135 days in northern British Columbia.
