Hudson

Hudson is located in northeastern Ohio in Summit County about 10 miles north-northeast of Akron.

The town is located on land that was once part of the Connecticut Western Reserve and purchased by the Connecticut Land Company for resale to the incoming settlers. It was a common practice then to name a new township after the surveyor that had platted the area--such was the case with David Hudson in 1799. His own house, built in 1806, is the oldest standing structure in the county.
