Clermont History
Clermont was the port of registry of Fulton and Livingston’s steamboat, which they called the “North River”, but which is known today as the “Clermont.” The ruins of the dock still exist at the historic site. Clermont was a working farm, as well as a country retreat for the Livingston family, well into the twentieth century. Clermont was the home of Montgomery Livingston (1816-1855), a member of the Hudson River School of painting and a member of the National Academy of Design. The Town of Clermont is named after the Livingstons’ Clermont estate; they were once virtually one and the same.
