Hudson, town in Quebec, Canada
Hudson is a town in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region, located west of Montreal along the southern shore of the Ottawa River. The town is made up of residential streets, local shops, and parks that open onto the waterfront.
Hudson grew as a settlement for English-speaking Canadians in the 18th century and kept its English name through the years. During the 19th century it developed into a residential community for people looking to live near Montreal.
Hudson is known for its anglophone community, which shapes the feel of the streets, the shop signs, and everyday life. The village has a relaxed pace, and locals often gather around the small shops and cafés along the main street.
Hudson is best reached by car from Montreal via Highway 20, and the drive takes roughly an hour. Parking is easy to find near the town center, which makes it simple to walk around the main streets and waterfront on foot.
Hudson is one of the few towns in Quebec where English has remained the everyday language, even though the surrounding region is mostly French-speaking. This shows clearly on the streets, where English shop signs and bilingual notices appear side by side.
