Dumont is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 17,863,[10][11] an increase of 384 (+2.2%) from the 2010 census count of 17,479,[20][21] which in turn reflected a decrease of 24 (−0.1%) from the 17,503 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

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.[23] 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.[24] On March 7, 1898, portions of the borough were annexed to Palisades Township.[25] On June 13, 1898, the borough's name was changed to Dumont in honor of Dumont Clarke, the borough's first mayor.[23][26][27][28]
