Hudson is the county seat of Columbia County. Dutch settlers bought the land on which the city is located in 1662 from the Mahicans who lived here at the time . The area once belonged to the Town of Claverack ; the original name of the settlement was therefore Claverack Landing . Hudson, inhabited by whalers from New England and merchants from Nantucket , Martha's Vineyard and Providence , Rhode Island , was chartered as a City in 1785. Hudson was a busy port and defeated in the vote on the capital of the state by the New York Parliament by one vote.
The city grew rapidly and was ranked 24th for the population of cities in the United States in the 1790 census . In 1820 Hudson was the fourth largest city in New York.
