context_page_description: Hudson is a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. The population was 22,262 at the 2010 census. It is a suburban community in the Akron metropolitan statistical area and the larger Cleveland–Akron–Canton Combined Statistical Area, the 17th-largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States.
context_section_description: Most of Hudson's retail outlets are located in concentrated areas.  Most notable are the two downtown blocks of historic buildings located on North Main Street.  The original center of business in Hudson, the stores and offices located "downtown" still stand today in continued commercial use.
  In 1962, the first part of the Hudson Plaza shopping center opened on West Streetsboro Street.  It has always been anchored by the Acme grocery store, which moved there from its former location on North Main Street. Expansions of the plaza continued through the 1990s.  A unique McDonald's restaurant, resembling a house, opened in 1985.  The original building, housing Acme, was extensively renovated in 2000.
  2004 marked the opening of First & Main, a mixed-use development just west of North Main Street. The Hudson Library & Historical Society relocated there in 2005.
