Livingston is a township in Essex County , New Jersey , United States. As of the 2010 United States Census , the township population was 29,366. Livingston was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 5, 1813, from portions of Caldwell Township and Springfield Township . Portions of the township were taken to form Fairmount and Roseland . The township was given its name in honor of William Livingston , the first Governor of New Jersey with his family coat of arms as its seal.
History Livingston's history dates back to 1699 when 101 Newark settlers wanted to expand westward. They set up a committee to negotiate the purchase from Lenni Lenape for the Horseneck Tract which today includes Livingston and eight other towns to the north. Between 1698 and 1702, the rules for property ownership were unclear. There were many disputes between settlers and the British proprietors . For some unknown reasons, the Newark settlers did not obtain a grant from the proprietors before negotiating with the natives . They finally obtained the deed directly from Lenni Lenape in 1702 for £130. The settlements began until around 1740s as the dispute between the proprietors and the settlers continued. The dispute came to a breaking point in September 1745 when the East Jersey proprietors began to evict a settler only six months after a house fire in Newark completely destroyed the original deed, which was the only evidence of the purchase. During that period, William Livingston who was one of the few landed aristocrats joined the settlers against the proprietors. Livingston owned land around today's south western corner of the Township of Livingston.
