Demarest was formed on April 8, 1903, from portions of Harrington Township and Palisades Township. The borough was named for the Demarest family and for the Demarest train station, which had in turn been named for Ralph S. Demarest, who was a director of the Northern Railroad of New Jersey that built the station and had represented the area in both the New Jersey General Assembly and the New Jersey Senate in the mid-19th century.

Derick Banta House

This example of Dutch Colonial architecture was built between
1780-1790 by Derick Banta, soldier in the American Revolution,
after his birthplace here was burned by Tories. Owned by the
Quackenbush family from 1792, it was sold to Isaac Dixon
in 1862, whose son Robert was Dumont’s fourth Mayor.
In 1929 Miss Sarah Dixon devised the homestead to the town
for a public library.
