Explanation: The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) river that flows from north to south primarily through eastern New York. New York served as our nation's capital for five years from 1785 to 1790, and played a vital role in the formation of our new government after the British were defeated and the Treaty of Paris ended the war.
