26th Annual Hudson Seafest - November 11, 12, 13 2011
Honoring our Vets and Arm Forces. Don't miss the opening cermony - Friday the 11th at 5:00pm
Hudson, Florida, is located at: 28 21' 40"N, 82 41' 14"
In 1878 Isaac Hudson moved his family to coastal Pasco County and opened a post office at a place he called Hudson's Landing. The area grew when they began cutting lumber and shipping it to the Tampa area. Hudson stagnated when the Fivay company went out of business and people moved or turned to the sea. Shrimping and fishing employed most of the people during the 1930's to the 50's, when some realator paid the Army Corp of engineers to dig 25 miles of canals. In the 1980's larger homes where beginning to be built and the waterfront community began to grow once again.
