History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

In 1650, the area that would become Hudson was part of the Indian Plantation for the Praying Indians.

In 1660, it was incorporated as part of Marlborough, and was known as Feltonville for part of the time between 1660 and its incorporation in 1866.

The Praying Indians were evicted from their plantation during King Philip's War, and most did not return even after the war ended.
