Hudsonville is a city in Ottawa County in the U.S. state of Michigan and is part of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. The population was 7,629 at the 2020 US Census. Hudsonville is nicknamed "Michigan's Salad Bowl."
Hudsonville was platted in 1873, soon after the Chicago and West Michigan Railway was extended to that point. [5] The town was named for Homer E. Hudson, a pioneer settler, who was also the town's first postmaster. [6] The early settlement of Hudsonville was next to a swamp, which hampered early development. In 1872, construction of the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad was completed. The railroad brought more settlers to the area, including many Dutch immigrants. [7]
