祖籍荷兰,是第一位荷兰裔美国总统。1821年,范布伦当选为美国参议员,后又担任第十一任纽约州州长。安德鲁·杰克逊总统第一任时,范布伦进入内阁任国务卿。1832年范布伦被提名为克逊的副总统(第八任美国副总统),并于1835年被提名为总统候选人。1836年,范布伦击败辉格党(现共和党前身)的四名对手,当选为总统。四年后竞选连任未成。后来又两度参加竞选,皆遭到失败,从此退出政坛,影息故乡。1862年7月24日,他于肯德胡克附近自己的庄园中去世。[1-2] 
1962年历史学家投票排名:马丁·范布伦在31位总统中排名第17位;在12位“普通总统”中排名第6。他排在门罗之上,塔夫脱之下。
 

Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States, serving one term in office. He was born on December 5, 1782 in Kinderhook, New York and died of heart failure in 1862. His father was a tavern 1 keeper and farmer. Van Buren was the first president born as a citizen of the U.S.A., as all previous presidents were born before the American Revolution.
 
Van Buren studied law and entered New York politics at the age of 17. He faithfully fulfilled his official duties for a decade and a half. His skill at gathering 2 support for his party earned him the nickname “The Little Magician”. In 1821, he was elected to the United States Senate representing New York. President Andrew Jackson rewarded Van Buren’s loyalty 3 by appointing him Secretary of State in 1829.
 
Van Buren’s rise to the Presidency 4 continued in 1833 when he was appointed Andrew Jackson’s Vice 5 President. Van Buren was President Jackson’s first choice to take over from him from 1837. He easily won the 1836 election. Van Buren devoted 6 his Inaugural 7 Address to explaining how the American experiment and its prosperity was an example to the rest of the world.
 
His Presidency was largely dominated by the recession that followed the “Panic of 1837”. Hundreds of banks and businesses failed. Thousands lost their land. It was the worst depression to hit America in its short history. Many blamed him for it and nicknamed him "Martin Van Ruin". He was voted out of office in 1840 and was an unsuccessful candidate for President as an independent in 1848. He died in 1862.
