The village was laid out by Robert Ferguson in 1830 on land purchased from the federal government. Early businesses included a hotel built by David Wyrick, a grocery, a tavern and a stagecoach shop. A Post Office operated at Livingston from August 24, 1832 until July 31, 1903. It's name was change to Cohn on April 5, 1880 and later back to Livingston. Several blows were dealt the village over the years which led to its decline. The railroad was diverted several miles to the north of town due to land donations.  A cyclone devastated the town during the Civil War.  The town was all but destroyed by the cyclone of May 26, 1917.
