History

The borough was originally formed on July 20, 1891, as the Borough of Schraalenburgh from portions of Harrington Township and Palisades Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone. On March 7, 1898, portions of the borough were annexed to Palisades Township. On June 13, 1898, the borough's name was changed to Dumont in honor of Dumont Clarke, the borough's first mayor. Houses with historical backgrounds remain as landmarks from colonial days and can still be found in Dumont. One such is the Albert Zabriskie house, built about 1750. It is part of the Dutch Colonial stone house at number 2 Colonial Court, and is the oldest structure still standing in Dumont. It is registered by the American Historical Society.
