snippets

In 1852, Alfred D. Gray, Hudson’s first mayor, petitioned to change the city’s name to Hudson, because the bluffs along the St. Croix River reminded him of the Hudson River in his native New York.
U.S. Highway 12 once crossed the St. Croix River on a toll bridge between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which provided revenue for the town. With the construction of Interstate 94, the toll bridge was removed, though the long causeway extending to the former bridge location is now open to the public as a pedestrian walkway, known as “The Dike”.
