The City of Hudson, the first chartered city of the entire United States, is located along the west border of Columbia County and the east bank of the Hudson River in Columbia County, New York, USA.

The population was 7,524 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Columbia County. The city is named after the adjacent river and ultimately after the explorer Henry Hudson.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.0 km² (2.3 mi²). 5.6 km² (2.2 mi²) of it is land and 0.4 km² (0.2 mi²) of it (6.47%) is water.

Hudson is located on what began as a spit of land jutting into the Hudson River between the South Bay and North Bay, now both largely filled and degraded (but not without hope of restoration).

Across the Hudson River lies the town of Athens (town), New York and Greene County, New York; a ferry connected the two municipalities during much of the 19th century. Between them lies Middle Ground Flats, a former sandbar that grew due to both natural silting and also from dumping the spoils of dredging; today it is inhabited by deer and a few occupants of quasi-legal summer shanties.
