After Andrew Jackson's election in 1828, his party became known as the Democratic party.
The Democratic Party is the brainchild of Martin Van Buren from the remnants of the Democractic-Republican Party after the disaster of the 1824 election. The leader of the newly formed Democrat Party in the 1830's was first Andrew Jackson, then Martin Van Buren. The Democratic National Committee wasn't organized until 1848. The other portion of the Democratic-Republican Party became the Whigs until 1852 when Abraham Lincoln formed the Republican Party.
In the United States, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party can trace their lineage back to the first political parties. The Democratic Party traces its roots back to the Democratic-Republican Party, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1792, while the Republican Party traces its roots back to the Whig Party, which was formed in the 1830s as an opposition to Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party.
