- Hudson
- Unincorporated Populated Place
- First name for a community in northern Hudson Twp, laid out in 1867 by Judge Chas. I. Robards on the strength of railroad surveys. Named for the explorer Henry Hudson, by immigrants from NY State. The community was missed by the railroad and passed out of existence, but the Lahia Post Office was est. onthe site. Lahia (earlier Lahi & Lahai) - P.O. est. on site of Hudson in 1877. Ramsay suggests that older spellings better correspond with pronunciation; "the change to the present spelling Lahia is accounted for by the common use of the ending -ia in other placenames." Conflicting explanations regarding name origin include because it "lay high" on the prairie, and named by John Brown for a place in Ohio, but we were unable to locate a feature in Ohio with this name.
