Clermont /ˈklɛərˌmɒnt/ is a town in Columbia County, New York, United States.

The town is in the southwestern corner of Columbia County, south of the city of Hudson.

Clermont was the port of registry of Robert Fulton's first steamboat, co-owned by Livingston, which was called the North River.

The Bouwerie, Thomas Brodhead House, Clarkson Chapel, Clermont Academy, Clermont Civic Historic District, Coons House, Hickory Hill, Old Parsonagee, Sixteen Mile District, and St. Luke's Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The northeastern border of the town follows the Roeliff Jansen Kill, a tributary of the Hudson River.

21.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

"Callendar House" was built on a bluff overlooking the river in 1794 by Henry Gilbert Livingston (1758–1817), whose country seat was next door.

Philip and his wife called it "Sunning Hill" and occupied it until 1828,[8] when it was purchased by Robert L. Tillotson.

Jacob LeRoy gave "Sunning Hill" to his daughter Charlotte, the wife of Rev.

It later came into the possession of Jean de Castella, who raised thoroughbred race horses there.

In 1910, a living room was added to the first floor by McKim Mead & White, as well as a south wing.
