Hudson is a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. The population was 22,262 at the 2010 census. Hudson is a commuter town and is part of the Akron, Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is also part of the larger Cleveland-Akron-Elyria Combined Statistical Area. ==History== The city is named after its founder, David Hudson, who settled there from Goshen, Connecticut in 1799, when it was part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The Underground Railroad passed through Hudson, and the town was the childhood home of John Brown after his family moved there in 1805. James Ellsworth and his wealth helped modernize Hudson in the early twentieth century. His son, Lincoln Ellsworth, was a polar explorer, and also the only Hudsonite ever featured on a U.S. postage stamp. Dante Lavelli, a Pro Football Hall of Fame member, played for Hudson High School's football team. Ian Frazier, an author and contributor to ''The New Yorker'', is a Western Reserve Academy graduate and Hudsonite. On November 28, 1973, a large area of the village, "roughly bounded by College, Streetsboro, S. Main, and Baldwin" streets, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Hudson Historic District. The historic district was expanded on October 10, 1989, to also include the area "roughly bounded by Hudson St., Old Orchard Dr., Aurora St., Oviatt St., Streetsboro St., and College St. to Aurora (street)". In addition to the Hudson Historic District, there are several additional properties in Hudson listed on the Register. In November 2002, Hudson was the first community in the U.S. to launch a citywide electronic gift card. The card was introduced by the Hudson Chamber of Commerce to help stimulate and keep shopping dollars with the independent merchants in town. ((See TV news coverage. )) In July 2003, heavy, constant rains led to minor to severe floods in Hudson. Two Hudson residents died during these floods. In 2010, the city was named as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People by America's Promise. The award was based on the city's "Community First" organization that was developed in the 1990s to combat drug use and school dropouts and to promote better choices in the city's youth by providing additional educational and cultural opportunities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hudson, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
