Welcome to Hudson
Located in St. Croix County, Hudson is home to around 15,000 residents. This quiet river town boasts a strong sense of community and is beloved for its beautiful water vistas and excellent amenities.
Considered part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area, Hudson shares borders with the village of North Hudson, among other communities.
History Of The City of Hudson
This community was settled in Summer 1840 by Louis Massey and his brother-in-law. At times in the past, this area has been referred to as “Massey’s Landing” as a result.
At other points in its history, Hudson was known as Willow River and then later as Buena Vista. It wasn’t until 1852 that Alfred Gray, the first mayor of Hudson, suggested that the city be renamed Hudson because of all of the bluffs along the St. Croix River that reminded him of New York’s Hudson River.
The population continued to grow throughout the rest of the 1800s and into the 1900s. At the time, the lumber industry was a main attraction for workers.
US Highway 12 (which was later removed) and Interstate 94 helped fuel growth in the area because these thoroughfares connected Wisconsin and Minnesota across the St. Croix River.
Today, Hudson is a grand tourist destination, with fabulous shops and restaurants all along the St. Croix in its beautiful historic district.
