History

Prior to 1686, the area would have been part of the Dutch trading area of New Netherlands (Nieuw Nederland) along the Hudson River from Fort Nassau to New Amsterdam up to 1664 (after which it became British). The area of Columbia which Livingston is in was settled after Fort Nassau was built in 1614.[3]

The land grant for Livingston Manor was made in 1686 to Robert Livingston. The region was made a district in 1772, and the town of Livingston was founded in 1788, being one of the original towns of the county.

In 1710, the area was used to settle Palatine Germans.

The Burroughs–Foland Farm, Forth House, Linlithgo Reformed Church of Livingston, Henry W. Livingston House, Richmond Hill, and St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4][5]
