Hudson, WY

Set along the Little Popo Agie River right between Lander and Riverton, Hudson offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere with open views of the Wind River Range. The community got its start in the early 1900s as a bustling coal and railroad town. While the mines closed decades ago, Hudson held onto its close-knit character and became famous across Wyoming for its classic supper clubs, most notably Svilar’s Steakhouse.

For anyone moving to the area, Hudson is a practical, affordable option just a ten-minute drive from Lander on Highway 287. Local kids attend Lander public schools, and residents make the quick trip into either Lander or Riverton for work, groceries, and medical care. In town, neighbors take pride in keeping local history alive, including reopening the historic Yablonski Memorial Library for gatherings, making it a welcoming place to settle down.
