Origins of the name "Hudson River"
According to the article, John Carwitham's 1740 plan of NYC was the first to use the name "Hudson('s) River". This is patently untrue. The name appears in a 1664 charter granting what had been New Netherland to the Duke of York, and also in a map produced in the same year. Zacwill (talk) 01:53, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Here is a still earlier attestation, from Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625). Zacwill (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- The wording is wonky, but the article says it's the first to use the term on a map, and neither of those are maps. The [NYT article] linked to also says that it was "customarily called" Hudson's at the time. Harryhenry1 (talk) 03:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Even with that caveat, the claim isn't true. See the map linked in my first post. Zacwill (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation between Hudson River and Hudson Bay
Is it a good idea to add a blurb at the top that says "Not to be confused with Hudson Bay."? 216.73.73.162 (talk) 19:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
