An Inside Look At New York's Most Powerful River | America Over The Edge

 

Just west of Manhattan and north of the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor meets the mouth of the Hudson River. The Hudson River extends more than 500km North. It is named after English explorer Henry Hudson, the first European to chart these waters. In the New York metropolitan area, the river serves as a political boundary, dividing New York and the state of New Jersey.
