The Hudson River is a river in the eastern United States that runs from the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York to the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor. The river is named after Henry Hudson, an English explorer who sailed up the river in 1609 while searching for a northwest passage to Asia.

The Hudson River has played an important role in the history of the United States. It was used by Native Americans for transportation and fishing for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The river was also an important route for early European explorers and colonizers, including the Dutch who established New Amsterdam (now New York City) in 1626.
