13 Interesting Facts About The Hudson River

The Hudson River is a major river that runs through New York City in the United States of America.

It begins at Lake Tear and runs south into New York state, where it is separated into the Upper Hudson River and the Lower Hudson River.

The Hudson River is also historically significant because it was previously an important route for shipping commodities between New York Harbor and the Great Lakes through the Erie Canal, which substantially aided New York trade.
