katlaughing ~ According to my book "Reflections on the Bean" (referring to Bean Creek) the town was named after a fellow called Daniel Hudson sometime during the l830's. The first settlers in the area, before it became the town of Hudson, were: Hiram Kidder from Geneva, N.Y., Charles Ames from Massachusetts and his brothers, Henry, William, Ezra. Apparently Daniel Hudson moved into the area around l834.

Hudson is also the home town of Will Carlton who wrote "Over the hill to the poor-house".
