Hudson-Fulton Celebration
The Hudson-Fulton Celebration from September 25 to October 9, 1909 in New York and New Jersey
was an elaborate commemoration of the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s discovery of the Hudson River and the 100th anniversary of Robert Fulton’s first successful commercial application of the paddle steamer.〔(" 1909 Hudson-Fulton Celebration of the Discovery of the Hudson River and the First Successful Application of Steam to Navigation," ) Hudson River Maritime Museum. The image above of the Celebration program shows the event closing on Saturday, October 9, 1909. A report to the New York state legislature in 1910 by the official celebration Commission, as shown on the website of this reference, lists the celebration as ending on Monday, October 11, 1909.〕 The maritime achievements of Hudson and Fulton foreshadowed the importance of the river to New York’s progress and identity. Organizers used the event not only to display the success of the two men, but also the status of New York City as a world city and the achievements of its citizens.〔(Fordham University's Hudson-Fulton Project )〕
== The commission ==
The Celebration was created and organized by the Celebration Commission, consisting of a large group of wealthy and influential New Yorkers, such as J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and others. The Commission, over the course of its long planning period (from 1905-1909), established dozens of committees to oversee every detail of the event, from the Celebration’s official symbols to the role of New York’s children.〔("Chapter1, Origin of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration" ), Hudson River Maritime Museum〕
