	Clermont, New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Built in 1730, Clermont is the oldest of the great estates of the mid-Hudson valley; it was home to seven generations of the Livingston family until 1962.
		The manor was originally part of the 160,000-acre Livingston Manor; Clermont was a 13,000-acre section in the southwest corner that was bequeathed to Robert Livingston (1688-1775), a younger son.
		Clermont marked the northernmost penetration by British troops up the Hudson River during the American Revolution; Livingston’s home was burned because of his prominent role in the Revolution.

		In New England, land permitted self sustaining farming and was generally owned by the settlers, larger fortunes were made through trading of beaver skins and other resources by the enterprising shipping merchants.
