The Federalist Party (or Federal Party) was an American political party in the period 1792 to 1816, with remnants lasting into the 1830s. 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, to support his fiscal policies. These supporters grew into the Federalist Party, which wanted a fiscally sound and strong nationalistic government.

The Federalists often refers to the essays and/or authors of the essays also known as "The Federalist Papers." The Federalist Papers advocated, between 1787 and 1788, the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. These essays outlined the rationale for the U.S. Constitution and the system of government the 1789 ratification of the Constitution would establish. The Federalists, as the authors collectively were referred to (although they used other, individual pseudonyms), were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.

"Statesmen and public figures supporting ratification of the proposed Constitution of the United States between 1787 and 1789. The Federalist Papers are documents associated with their movement." -- WIkipedia "Federalist"
So, to answer your question: True!
The title Federalist was also applied to public figures and statesmen who strongly supported the administrations of Washington and Adams, eventually becoming a political party supporting a strong federal/central government.
Hope this helped!

Technically speaking, they're called the Framers, but for the most part, they were Federalists. I'm not sure if any Anti-Federalists were actually at the convention, but they definitely came out swinging when it was finally presented.
