History

The land was purchased from native Mahicans by Dutch settlers in 1662 and was originally part of the Town of Claverack. Settled by New England whalers and merchants hailing primarily from Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Providence, Rhode Island, Hudson was chartered as a city in 1785. The self-described "Proprietors" laid out a city grid, and Hudson grew rapidly as an active port, and came within one vote of being named the capital of New York State. As late as 1820, it was the fourth largest city in New York State^[1]. Hudson obtained a new charter in 1895. Claverack is a town located in Columbia County, New York. ...

Year 1895 (MDCCCXCV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

Hudson became notorious as a center of gambling and prostitution in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century, as described in some detail in Bruce Edward Hall's book, Diamond Street: The Story of the Little Town with the Big Red Light District. (The former Diamond Street is today Columbia Street.) At the peak of the vice industry, Hudson also had more than 50 bars. These rackets were broken up in 1951 after surprise raids of Hudson whorehouses by then-Attorney General Thomas Dewey netted, among other catches, several local policemen. Year 1951 (MCMLI) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... In most common law jurisdictions, the Attorney General is the main legal adviser to the government, and in some jurisdictions may in addition have executive responsibility for law enforcement or responsibility for public prosecutions. ...

After a steep decline in the 60s and 70s, the city has undergone a significant revival,spearheaded in the mid- 1980s by a group of antiques dealers who opened shops on Warren Street, the city's main street, their numbers growing from a handful in the 1980s to almost seventy shops now. Following this business revival, the city experienced a residential revival as well, and is now known for its active arts scene, antiques shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

With hundreds of properties that might qualify to be on the State and National Registers of historic places, Hudson has been called "a dictionary of American vernacular architecture." A discussion of Hudson's architecture, its history, and recent revival, together with a collection of 200 period photographs of the city spanning the mid-19th to the early 20th century, is Historic Hudson: An Architectural Portrait by historian Byrne Fone. Community activist Tom Koulos led an initiative to construct the Kiwanis Inspiration Fountain, the Kiwanis Olympic Torch, and the courthouse gazebo. Vernacular architecture is a term used to categorize a method of construction which uses locally available resources to address local needs. ...

From late 1998 and spring 2005, the city was gripped by a fiercely-contested land use battle between St. Lawrence Cement (SLC), a subsidiary of what was then the largest cement company on earth, the Swiss multinational giant Holderbank (since renamed Holcim), and private citizens organized by Linda Mussmann and Claudia Bruce. The controversy garnered national attention from news outlets such as CNN and The New York Times, as well as media outlets in Canada and Switzerland. Year 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar). ... Year 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... Holcim depot on the Port of Onehunga grounds, Manukau Harbour, Auckland, New Zealand. ...

The company proposed a massive, coal-fired cement manufacturing project sprawling over 1,800 acres (10 km²) in the City of Hudson and the town of Greenport, Columbia County, New York. Some three dozen organizations eventually joined FOH as allies, including national organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Statewide groups such as the Preservation League of New York State, and other grassroots organizations such as the Concerned Women of Claverack, based in nearby Claverack, New York.

Despite a $58 million legal, lobbying and public relations campaign by St. Lawrence Cement, FOH and its allies finally prevailed on April 19th, 2005 when Secretary of State Randy Daniels denied permits to the project under the State's Coastal Resources program. That same evening, the Hudson Common Council voted down a "Host Community Agreement" proposed by the company and backed by Mayor Richard Scalera. This double setback, along with pressure from investors, convinced the company to withdraw their proposal several days later. Pratt, a former national journalist who volunteered his time pro bono for six-and-a-half years as the leader of the fight, maintains a week-by-week chronology of the cement plant battle can be found at the website Stop the Plant.

However, the end of the Greenport plant proposal has not ended the controversy for local residents. A former plant opponent and local activist Linda Mussmann has become an unexpected supporter of St. Lawrence Cement (which has become fully owned by Holcim) with whom she opened secret negotiations in August 2006 that only came to light some six months later. A waterfront development plan crafted by Mussmann which would secure more permanent rights for the cement company's tenuous land holdings on the river stalled after her third unsuccessful run for mayor in 2007 netted 10% of votes. (Bizarrely, Mussmann and her partner, Claudia Bruce, have simultaneously begun to false claim credit for the defeat of the Greenport project.) Mussmann's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan was opposed by an ad-hoc group called Save the South Bay, organized by Pratt and other veterans of FOH; the plan would appear to have lost momentum after Mussmann lost her third consecutive bid to become mayor of Hudson, garnering just 10% of the November 2007 vote.

This unusually lengthy struggle was the subject of a 2006 documentary, Two Square Miles by filmmakers Barbara Ettinger and Sven Huseby. The film focuses on the cement plant battle (Pratt and Jung), an unsuccessful mayoral bid (Mussmann), and the conversion story of alderman and plant supporter (Quintin Cross). Later, in the summer of 2007, Cross was convicted of felony charges involving misuse of City funds for personal purposes. The title refers to the small area within Hudson's borders, despite its classification by New York State as a "small city."

Hudson is located on what began as a spit of land jutting into the Hudson River between the South Bay and North Bay, now both largely filled and degraded (but not without hope of restoration).

Across the Hudson River lies the town of Athens (town), New York and Greene County, New York; a ferry connected the two municipalities during much of the 19th century. Between them lies Middle Ground Flats, a former sandbar that grew due to both natural silting and also from dumping the spoils of dredging; today it is inhabited by deer and a few occupants of quasi-legal summer shanties. Athens is a town located in Greene County, New York. ... Greene County is a county located in the state of New York. ...
