The Hudson '''River Valley''' is a region in the [[United States|American]] state of [[New York]], stretching from [[Albany]] to [[New York City]]. It features historic towns such as [[Sleepy Hollow]].
==History==
Despite the notes of explorers such as [[John Cabot]] about the gulf of the {{Wiki|Saint Lawrence River|St. Lawrence River}}, [[Jacques Cartier]] was the first [[Europe]]an explorer to sail in the River Valley with the aid of the [[Iroquois]] who had built their settlements there. He referred the northern area of the river as "[[Canada]]", mishearing it from the {{Wiki|Wyandot people|Huron}}-Iroquois word "Kanata", meaning "village".<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Database: River Valley]]</ref>

Since then, other explorers and fur traders opened the territory and the [[France|French]] started to build their settlements, limiting the westward expansion of the [[United States|British]]. Threatened, the British clashed with the French, starting the [[Seven Years' War]] in 1755.<ref name="Database" />

During the war, the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] traveled to the River Valley to eliminate the [[Assassins|Assassin]] threat and free the Iroquois. He also supported the British frontier against the colonies of the French.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Despite its in-game shorthand name, the Hudson River Valley region was never historically referred to as the "River Valley", and is generally called the Hudson Valley in modern times.
