The Clermont estate was established by Robert Livingston (1688-1775) following the death of his father, Robert Livingston the Elder (1654-1728), the first Lord of Livingston Manor, in 1728. It originally consisted of 13,000 acres, but he would acquire land, eventually increasing its size to nearly 500,000 acres. The original house was built about 1740, but it was burned by the British in 1777. The house was rebuilt by Margaret (Beekman) Livingston between 1779 and 1782.

A family cemetery consisting of a burial vault was constructed on the property and was located two hundred yards north of the family home. It housed the remains of the founder of the estate, Robert Livingston (1688-1775), his wife, and many of their descendants. Clermont Livingston closed up the family vault in the 1870s and those interred within it were reinterred elsewhere. Many were removed and reinterred at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Tivoli, New York. A notable exception was Edward Livingston (1764-1836), whose remains were reinterred at the Methodist Church in Rhinebeck, New York. The cemetery is now defunct and nobody is buried within it.
