Delmar, New York
Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.
In 1980, the U.S. Census Bureau began treating Delmar as a census-designated place (CDP). The population of Delmar was 8,292 at the 2000 census. Delmar was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.
In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar CDP) as one of the "Best Places to Live" in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called "Great American Towns."
Nathaniel Adams moved to the area in 1836 and, two years later, built a large hotel and made other improvements. When the first post office was built in 1840, he became the first post master. The Adams Hotel was Bethlehem's Town Hall from 1950 to 1980. For Nathaniel Adams, Delmar received its early name of Adamsville.
After Adamsville received its post office, mail began to get confused with the town of Adams, New York, which also had an Adams Village. The name of the post office was changed to Adams Station in an attempt to relieve that confusion. The Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, which had a station on Adams Street north of Kenwood Avenue, however, had chosen to change from Adamsville to Delmar. In 1892, a petition by area residents to change the post office to match Delmar was accepted.
The Patterson Farmhouse, United States Post Office, and Van Derheyden House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
As a hamlet, the borders of Delmar are indeterminate, though it is considered to be centered on the intersection of Kenwood and Delaware Avenues. According to the 2000 United States census, the CDP has a total area of 4.382 square miles (11.35 km2), all land. A 2010 reference map laid out the boundaries of the Delmar CDP.
As of the census of 2000, there were 8,292 people, 3,420 households, and 2,373 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 1,892.4 inhabitants per square mile (730.7/km2). There were 3,501 housing units at an average density of 799.0 per square mile (308.5/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 96.61% White, 1.24% Asian, 1.18% African American, 0.12% Native American, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.25% from other races, and 0.58% from two or more races. 1.23% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
