Hudson wi Wedding
Hudson is a city in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, United States. As of 2005, the city had an estimated population of 11,353. Hudson has experienced considerable growth in recent years due to its proximity to the Twin Cities. The village of North Hudson is located directly to the north. Hudson was founded in the summer of 1840 by Louis Massey and Peter Bouchea. Massey and Bouchea settled at the mouth of the Willow River, now the place where of First and St. Croix Streets. The 1840's saw a few settlers making their appearance here -- Captain John Page, the Nobles brothers, Dr. Philip Aldrich, Ammah Andrews, Moses Perrin, Colonel James Hughes, Daniel Anderson and others.
1850 and 1860 saw a great influx of settlers, and many of today's Hudson citizens are descendants of these early pioneers. The main attraction of this area at the time was the first lumber industry, and as time went on the entire St. Croix Valley was dotted with sawmills of varying importance. In 1852, Gray, Hudson's first mayor, petitioned to change the name of the city to Hudson, because the St. Croix reminded him of New Yorks Hudson River.
