Hudson’s very first residents were Peter Bouchea and his brother-in-law Louis Massey, both of whom settled in the area in the summer of 1840. The area where it was believed that these two lived was often found labeled as "Massey’s Landing" on the city’s original maps. However, it wasn’t until 1852 that the city was officially named Hudson, and it was named so after the similarity between New York’s Hudson River and the St. Croix River.
If you'd like to explore the history of Hudson for yourself, consider visiting the Octagon House Museum. This house, which is known for its eight-sided design, was built in 1854, houses its original Victorian furniture, and is open for touring daily. This house is also adjacent to the St. Croix County Historical Society.
A favorite spot for local Hudson residents is Lakefront Park, which is a city park with walking trails, a beach with lifeguards, and boardwalks along the St. Croix River. During the summer, this park has a calendar of outdoor concerts. For concerts that are performed year-round, head just down the street to the Phipps Center for the Arts, where you can also tour a small art gallery filled with pieces made by local artists.
