In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson sailed the Atlantic coast of North America, hoping to find a sea-route to Asia for his employer, the Dutch East India Company. Instead, Hudson entered Upper New York Bay, and from there into the river that would one day be named for him.
Hudson and his small crew took their ship, the Half Moon, upriver for another 150 miles before turning back, traveling almost as far as what is now Albany, the capital of present-day New York State.
The Hudson Valley was inhabited at this time by Native Americans of the Algonquian Nation—Mahicans and Wappingers on the eastern shore, Munsees on the west. The Mahicans called the river Muheconneok, “the waters that are never still.”
