Hudson is located on the east bank of the Merrimack river. It covers approximately 29 square miles and is home to about 25,000 people. Hudson offers quiet open spaces and an abundance of recreational opportunities including two golf courses, the Robinson Pond recreation area, passive recreation including trails and walking paths at Benson Park, a skate park, and a number of sports fields and facilities. In addition, Hudson has developed into a small industrial and commercial center thanks in part to its proximity to critical highways: the F. E. Everett Turnpike on the west and Interstate 93 on the east.
The City is governed by the Mayor and City Council with the assistance of various departments, agencies and commissions. The basic law of the government of the City of Akron is found in the City Charter, first adopted by a vote of the people on November 5, 1918, effective January 20, 1920, and subsequently amended from time to time. The Charter provides for a mayor-council type of municipal system, the Mayor being the executive branch and the Council the legislative. The City takes official action through the passage of ordinances and resolutions. A Mayor and three At-Large Councilpersons are elected by City residents every four years. The City has ten wards and a councilperson is elected to represent each ward every two years. Members of Commissions are generally appointed by the Mayor, subject to the approval of the City Council. The Judicial branch of government is represented in Akron by The Akron Municipal Court. It serves the cities of Akron and Fairlawn; the townships of Bath, Richfield and Springfield; the Villages of Lakemore and Richfield; and that part of Mogadore in Summit County, Ohio.

Pendleton, Indiana’s recorded history begins in December 1818 when John Rogers, the first non-native settler to the area, built his home near the falls on Fall Creek. As time passed, more people made their way to the region, always settling near the falls – the community source of water and power. By 1823, Madison County (where Pendleton is located) had officially been formed by the State of Indiana. A modest cabin near the falls was the governmental center. In the following year, one of the saddest chapters in the area’s history took place. A Native American family was murdered by five white men several miles east of Pendleton. Four of the five men were found and brought to justice in Pendleton. Of those, three were sentenced to death and hanged within sight of the falls. It was the first time in the history of the United States that whites received capitol punishment for the murder of Native Americans. Thomas Pendleton moved to the area in 1825. Five years later, he laid out the town and gave it his name. Since then, the town’s name has remained unchanged (though it was occasionally misspelled as “Pendelton”). In 1843, noted abolitionist Frederick Douglass spoke in Pendleton. Historical accounts suggest that Douglass’ life was in danger from would-be assassins. Through the compassion and bravery of members of the town, he escaped. By the early 1900′s water was no longer the main source of power in Pendleton. Gas was fast becoming the fuel of choice. During this era several glass and tile manufacturing facilities called Pendleton home. Through the 20th century Pendleton continued to grow, all the while remaining committed to responsible planning. That foresight made the town the unique place it is today – an ideal home for residents and businesses alike.
