Welcome!
Whether you’re here for the day or thinking about relocating, you are sure to be impressed by our
city’s character and charm. Conveniently located in the heart of the Western Reserve midway between Cleve-land and Akron, Hudson offers the feel of small town living within a short drive of major metropolitan areas.
Hudson is a fascinating blend of tradition and progress. The picturesque pedestrian-friendly town was built over 200 years ago based on a traditional village green plan which still today encourages a vibrant downtown. Foresight and careful planning have helped preserve Hudson’s unique character. A variety of architectural styles, from Victorian to Greek Revival to Federal to Italianate, make strolls within the village a popular pastime.
The town’s historic character combined with exciting shopping and dining makes Hudson a prime destination. An interesting blend of local, regional and national merchants makes shopping on historic Main Street, in the First & Main district, and in the newly revitalized Evaporator Works a unique experience. Signature events, such as Hudson Festival Days, Taste of Hudson, Art on the Green and the Summer Music Festival attract thousands of visitors year round.
Top-rated schools, both public and private, are a true source of pride as well as a key factor in the health and development of our community. Cultural offerings from live theater to community band make Hudson a great place to enjoy and participate in the arts at all levels. And when it comes to the great outdoors, opportunities abound! In addition to Hudson’s 20 parks and public golf course, the town borders the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, linking all Ohio through the Buckeye Trail.
