Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River in 1609 as part of his quest to find a northwest passage to Asia. Sponsored by the Dutch East India Company, he aimed to uncover new trade routes and establish Dutch claims in North America. His exploration led to the discovery of the river, which later became vital for trade and settlement in the region. Hudson's journey ultimately contributed to European interest in the Americas.
