Hudson NH Real Estate

Hudson is a town located in Southern New Hampshire in the Merrimack Valley region of the state. It is situated in the Southeastern part of Hillsborough County and encompasses a total area of 29.12 square miles, .8 of which is water. As of the 2010 United States Census, Hudson was home to 24,467 people.

The land that comprises Hudson was originally a part of the Dunstable Land Grant, which now makes up Nashua, New Hampshire and Dunstable and Pepperell, Massachusetts. Once the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border disputes were settled, the land was split, with the New Hampshire side taking on the name “New Nottingham.” It was incorporated in 1673 and, in 1830, the name was officially changed to Hudson, most likely honoring early explorer Henry Hudson.
