Ohio Hudson history
Ohio Hudson company history timeline
David Hudson’s eighth child, Anner Maria, was born a scant three months after the family’s 1800 arrival, making her the first white baby born in what is now Summit County.
In 1800, David Hudson established the community of Hudson in the Connecticut Western Reserve.
In 1802, he founded a Congregational church in town.
Their residences of this period were built in the federal style (as exemplified by the 1809 Robert Jenkins House, now the DAR building, at 113 Warren Street), and emphasized symmetry in two-story buildings built of brick or clapboard, with side or center halls.
On this site, the first meetinghouse owned by the Hudson First Congregational ChurchCongregational Church was dedicated March 1, 1820, twenty-one years after David Hudson first came to the Hudson area.
In 1820, Hudson was the fourth largest human settlement in New York State.
In 1837, the Village of Hudson was incorporated in the center of Hudson Township and Heman Oviatt was elected the first mayor.
Included in this district is the 1838 Loomis Observatory, the third built in North America, and the oldest on it original foundations.
In 1846, almost fifty years after the community’s founding, only six hundred people resided in Hudson.
Hudson’s shipping fortunes, along with its related industries, were eclipsed by the arrival of the railroad in 1850.

Then in 1935, the United states issued the Hudson half Dollar coins to celebrate the success of the developing city.
In 1950, state troopers, on the order of Governor Thomas Dewey, raided Diamond Street and shut down Hudson’s notorious red light district—a legacy from its seaport days.
In 1994, Hudson Township and Hudson Village merged to form one government for the area David Hudson had purchased nearly two centuries earlier.
