Hudson is a historic mill town in eastern Massachusetts, located about 25 miles west of Boston along the Assabet River. Once known as a major shoe manufacturing center in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the town has transformed into a diverse suburban community while preserving its industrial heritage through repurposed mill buildings. Hudson straddles the Middlesex-Worcester county line and maintains a compact downtown with a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial development.
