The town is in the south-central part of the county and is south of Plattsburgh. North Hudson is within the Adirondack Park.

History Edit

The region was first settled circa 1800. Early pioneers chose the southeastern part of the town.

The town was formed in 1848 from the town of Moriah. Early industry was based on tanning, owing to the presence of hemlock bark from the forests. Later, the trees were harvested for wood pulp.

By the end of the 19th century, the tourist trade began to predominate, especially at Underwood and Elk Lake. The theme park Frontier Town, a Wild West themed family tourist attraction, operated here from 1952 to 1998. The closure of Frontier Town had a severe negative impact on the town's economy.[4] In 2018, Frontier Town reopened as Adirondack campground and day-use area.[5][6]

Geography Edit

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 184.7 square miles (478.3 km2), of which 181.5 square miles (470.0 km2) is land and 3.2 square miles (8.3 km2), or 1.74%, is water.[3]

Two branches of the Schroon River, a south-flowing tributary of the Hudson River, arise in North Hudson.

The Adirondack Northway (Interstate 87) and U.S. 9 traverse the town as north-south highways. I-87 Exits 29 (North Hudson hamlet) and 30 (US-9) are within the town.
