Hudson, New Hampshire is the perfect mixture of residential neighborhoods, commercial businesses and industrial development. Located just north of the Massachusetts border, Hudson sits along the east side of the Merrimack River, opposite Nashua, New Hampshire on the west side. Hudson's small-town feel yet convenient access make it a very desirable place for young families to purchase their first home. A town of about 25,000 people, Hudson, like most

other southern New Hampshire towns has grown dramatically over the past few decades and is taking steps to ensure a smooth transition to the future. Continuing its commercial and industrial growth while maintaining an appealing rural feel is paramount to Hudson's enduring success.

Originally known as part of Nottingham, Massachusetts, the town split off, naming itself Nottingham West. Because there was already a town in New Hampshire called Nottingham, just to the northeast, residents petitioned to change the name in 1830. The reason for choosing the name Hudson is a mystery, though some believe it was named after the Hudson River while others feel it was named after English explorer Henry Hudson. The debate continues to this day.

Hudson has much to offer youngsters, from youth groups to extracurricular athletics such as baseball, basketball, football and soccer. Nearby golf courses and municipal parks give everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors. Hudson also has fishing, swimming, bicycling and tennis facilities. Only 36 miles from Boston and 22 miles from Manchester, New Hampshire, Hudson is the perfectly located southern New Hampshire town.

The Hudson School District, SAU #81, currently operates four elementary schools, Dr. H.O. Smith Elementary, Hills Garrison Elementary, Nottingham West Elementary and the Library Street School. Also in SAU #81 is the Hudson Memorial Middle School and Alvirne High School.
