Hudson River

The Hudson River is a 315-mile long river in eastern New York, United States, that flows from the Adirondack Mountains to the New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. It was known to Native American tribes, including the Mohicans and Lenape, by various names before being named after Henry Hudson, an English explorer, in 1609. The river played a significant role in the colonization of America, serving as a gateway to the interior, and inspired the work of notable authors and artists. However, the river's water quality declined significantly in the 20th century due to industrial pollution, but efforts have been made to improve its condition since the latter half of the century.learn more on wikipedia
