The Federalist Party was the first American political party, from the early 1790s to 1816, the era of the First Party System, with remnants lasting into the 1820s. The Federalists controlled the federal government until 1801. The party was formed by Alexander Hamilton, who, during George Washington's first term, built a network of supporters, largely urban bankers and businessmen, to support his fiscal policies. These supporters grew into the Federalist Party committed to a fiscally sound and nationalistic government.
The United States' only Federalist president was John Adams; although George Washington was broadly sympathetic to the Federalist program, he remained an independent his entire presidency.
Northern merchants were the main supporters of the Federalists in the newly emerged two-party system.
he was the head of the opposite party, the democratic republicans. Thus, his opinions were the oposite of that of the federalists.

The Republocrats
The question is has the order of events backward. Alexander Hamilton was a founder of the Federalist Party, which preceded the Democratic-Republicans. Thomas Jefferson lead a group called the Anti-Federalists who opposed ratification of the Constitution and later became the Democratic-Republican Party. The Federalists were first; the Democratic-Republicans were formed to oppose the Federalists.
It was when the Democratic Republicans were the only party around. The Federalists started to die out.
No party replaced the Federalists in the sense that no party actually took the claims of Federalists and advocated them after the party fell. However, the next party to challenge the Democratic-Republicans was the WHIG PARTY.
