Hudson River
new york In case you don't live near NY, the Hudson River is in New York and stretches through various parts of it. However, you should know this because of the 2009 Miracle on the Hudson, in which Captain Sullenberger of a flight from Newark was forced to land a plane in the Hudson River. He missed the George Washington Bridge by about 90 feet and no one was hurt, miraculously! He is now an American hero.

Hudson River
Well, Hudson bay is named after Henry Hudson, who claimed land around the river for the Dutch, but it's not really said who claimed the land for the English.
New York and New Hampshire claimed the Hudson River.
He was sent by the Dutch to find new water routes to Asiaa. He was in search of a Northwest Passage, but as we now know there isn't one. He claimed land for the Dutch along the way, and the river he explored is now known as the Hudson River in honor of him.
The Dutch colonies were founded by the Dutch East India Company, a trading company established in the early 17th century. They established colonies in regions such as present-day Indonesia, Suriname, and the Caribbean.
The river is named after Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Dutch East India Company, who explored it in 1609. It had previously been observed by Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano sailing for King Francis I of France in 1524 as he became the first European known to have entered the Upper Bay, but he mistook it for an estuary. The river was named by Hudson's employers the North River (with the Delaware River called the South River) and formed the spine of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Settlement of the colony clustered around the Hudson and it's strategic importance as the gateway to the American interior led to years of competition between the English and the Dutch over control of the river and colony.
It is named for Henry Hudson, an English mansailing for the Dutch East India Company, who explored it in 1609. The Hudson River was originally named the Mauritius River, which is claimed to be the name given by Hudson in honor of Prince Maurice of Nassau. Alternatively, it is said to be the name given by Sixteenth Century European adventurers, explorers, and fishermen who knew the river as River Mauritius, 'The River of Mountains'.The Hudson River was named after the explorer Henry Hudson who explored that area in the early 1600's for the Dutch.
He explored for the Dutch as well as the English. While he claimed no lands himself, his exploration of southern Canada allowed the Hudson Bay Company to exploit a royal charter for fur trading in central Canada.
