Livingston, the second-largest town in Essex County, was founded when the state legislature combined portions of two farming villages, Caldwell and Springfield, and issued the new Township of Livingston a state charter on Feb. 5, 1813. Livingston is named in honor of William Livingston, the first governor of New Jersey, who served from 1776 to 1790. The Force Home, located on South Livingston Avenue, was built in 1752 and is now the headquarters of the Livingston Historical Society.
