Livingston was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 5, 1813, from portions of Caldwell Township (now Fairfield Township) and Springfield Township (now in Union County). Portions of the original township were later taken to form Fairmount (March 11, 1862, now part of West Orange) and Roseland (March 10, 1908).[21]

The township was named for William Livingston, the first Governor of New Jersey; his family's coat of arms served as the township's seal for many years.[22][23]

The community has been one of the state's highest-income communities. Based on data from the American Community Survey for 2013–2017, township residents had a median household income of $153,381, ranked 14th in the state among municipalities with more than 10,000 residents, more than double the statewide median of $76,475.[24][25]

History Edit

Livingston's history dates back to 1699 when 101 settlers from Newark wanted to move westward. They set up a committee to negotiate with Lenni Lenape Native Americans for the purchase of the Horseneck Tract which today includes Livingston and eight other municipalities in northern Essex County. Between 1698 and 1702, the rules for property ownership were unclear. There were many disputes between settlers and the English proprietors. For some unknown reasons, the Newark settlers did not obtain a grant from the proprietors before negotiating with the native tribes. They finally obtained the deed directly from Lenni Lenape in 1702 for £130. The settlements began until around the 1740s as the dispute between the proprietors and the settlers continued.[26]

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.[27] 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. His land, like other settlers, was levied with quit rents in the amount 40 shillings per acre. He defended many settlers who were jailed for refusing to pay the quit rents.[28]

This series of events caused the settlers, led by Timothy Meeker, to form a group to riot against the British government. The Horseneck Riots lasted for 10 years from 1745 to 1755. The group was also one of the first colonial militia which had periodic battles for 32 years leading up to the Revolutionary War as the group joined the Continental Army in 1776.[29]

After the American Revolutionary War, more permanent settlements took place with the first school built in 1783. In 1811, a petition was filed to incorporate the township from about 100 people who lived in seven distinct areas: Centerville (separated to become Roseland, in 1908), Cheapside (now Livingston Mall), Morehousetown (now Livingston Circle), Northfield (now Northfield Center), Squiretown (now the Cerebral Palsy Institute of New Jersey on Old Road), Teedtown (now Livingston Center), and Washington Place (now near the border with Millburn).[22] On February 5, 1813, the township was officially incorporated. The first town meeting was held on the same day and they decided to run the township by a Township Committee system.[22]

During the 1800s, lumber and farming were major industries in the town. Shoemaking and dairy farming became major industries during and after the Civil War. However, the population grew slowly because it was not easily accessible. Mt. Pleasant Avenue—which was one of the first turnpikes in New Jersey—was the only primary access to the town through stagecoaches.[22]

The population grew quickly after the 1920s when automobiles became more accessible. As a suburb of Newark, the town experienced many housing developments especially after World War II with its peak in 1970 of more than thirty thousand residents.[22] During this growth period, many services were organized including public library in 1916, volunteer Fire Department in 1922, first regular police chief in 1923, an ambulance unit in 1937 which became first aid squad in 1949.[30] Some major relocations took place during this period of growing population shift. Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center (formerly Saint Barnabas Medical Center) and Newark Academy moved from Newark to Livingston in 1964.[31][32]

The last surviving Harrison Cider Apple tree, the most famous of the 18th century Newark cider apples was rescued from extinction in 1976 in Livingston.[33][34]

Today, around 30,000 people live in this suburban community, which lies around an hour from New York City. Its school system—which has been nationally recognized since 1998—and other programs have been drawing new residents to the town. Its population has maintained a level of diversity while the residents continue the tradition of community volunteerism.[29][22]

Geography Edit

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 14.12 square miles (36.57 km2), including 13.79 square miles (35.7 km2) of land and 0.33 square miles (0.86 km2) of water (2.37%).[1][2] Livingston is in the New York metropolitan area. It is in southwestern Essex County. Within Essex County it is bordered by Roseland to the north, West Orange to the east, and Millburn/Short Hills to the south. To the west it is bordered by Morris County communities Florham Park and East Hanover. The western border is the Passaic River.[35][36][37]

Parks and recreation Edit

Parks Edit

There are more than 470 acres (1.9 km2) of wooded parks with passive hiking trails in Livingston. Additional 1,817 acres (7.35 km2) are zoned to be preserved in its natural state without public access. This brings to about 25% of total land in the town that is in its natural conditions with habitats of eight threatened or endangered species.[68][69]

There are smaller parks and open space areas dedicated to recreation and sports, mostly centered around the town's public schools. These include two swimming pools, one of which, Northland Pool, is no longer open to the public, ten little league baseball diamonds, four full baseball diamonds, eight full soccer/lacrosse fields, one full football field, three basketball courts, sixteen tennis courts, eleven playgrounds, a jogging track, a dog park, and a fishing/ice skating pond.[69] The township is planning to build inter-connected mixed-use paths, biking and hiking trails to connect those parks and open space throughout the township.

Livingston has an active open space trust fund that continues to acquire more lands for preservation and recreation. As of 2003, there were 842 acres (9% of total land) that were protected from development. There were additional 2,475 acres (10.02 km2) that could be protected by the fund.[70]

Although a large portion of the complex is located within Roseland, but the county designated Livingston as the host community as the Riker Hill Art Park is the only functional and publicly accessible park at the present time.[71] The art park located atop of the hill is home of many studios in multiple disciplines of art and craft.

Recreation Edit

The recreation department under the Senior, Youth and Leisure Services program offers programs for residents ranging from pre-school courses, children games, crafts, and dance to youth and adult sports programs to special programming for seniors.

The recreation department's variety of services and programs for adults ages 62+ includes educational, sports, special events (in person pre-Covid), concerts, and locally available transportation via several new vans. The recreation department has proven innovative in working to provide programs and services safely throughout the pandemic. Prior to 2020, residents enjoyed two pools, Haines Pool and Northland Pool. Since then, Northland Pool has been mainly closed to residents. There are many independent sports organizations such as Livingston Little League, Livingston Jr. Lancers (football and cheerleading), Livingston Lacrosse Club, and Livingston Soccer Club.[72][73]

Government Edit

Local government Edit

Livingston has operated since 1957 within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Council-Manager form of municipal government. The township is one of 42 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[74] Livingston's Township Council is comprised of five members, elected to four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats coming up for election in even-numbered years.[7][75][76] A Mayor and Deputy Mayor are selected by the Council from among its members at a reorganization meeting held after each election.[77]

As of 2023, members of the Township Council are Mayor Michael M. Vieira (D, term on council ends 2024; term as mayor ends December 31, 2023), Deputy Mayor Alfred M.

In February 2019, after the Township Council failed to choose a candidate, the Democratic municipal committee selected Michael Vieira to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that became vacant following the resignation of Michael M. Silverman. Vieira served on an interim basis until the November 2019 general election, when voters elected him to serve the balance of the term of office.[82][83]

The Township Manager is Barry R. Lewis Jr., whose tenure began on March 1, 2018.[5][84] The previous Township Managers were Robert H. Harp (1954–1985), Charles J. Tahaney (1985–2005), and Michele E. Meade (2005–2016). Gregory J. Bonin served for a single week in 2017 before resigning,[85][86] and Deputy Township Manager Russell A. Jones Jr. served as Acting Township Manager for the rest of the interval between Meade and Lewis.[87][88]

After the 1980 census, Livingston was moved to Congressman Joseph G. Minish's district. Minish was defeated by Dean Gallo in 1984 and served until his death in 1994.

These structures were jointly registered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, commonly known as the Old Force Homestead. Originally, Ward-Force House and Condit Family Cook House were built in separate properties. Ward-Force House was built as early as 1745 by Theophilus Ward. It was later purchased by Samuel Force for his son, Thomas Force. During the Revolutionary War, Thomas served as a patriot and was captured by the British. Thomas came back to live with his wife and children after the war and expanded the house. It was sold to the township in 1962. Condit Family Cook House was built as a stand-alone summer kitchen of a farm home near the current location of Livingston Mall. When the mall was built during the 1970s, the cook house was donated to the township and was moved to the current location at the rear of Ward-Force House. Currently, the Old Force Homestead is the headquarters of Livingston Historical Society and the Force Homestead Museum.[163]

EditLivingston s history dates back to 1699 when 101 settlers from Newark wanted to move westward They set up a committee to negotiate with Lenni Lenape Native Americans for the purchase of the Horseneck Tract which today includes Livingston and eight other municipalities in northern Essex County Between 1698 and 1702 the rules for property ownership were unclear There were many disputes between settlers and the English proprietors For some unknown reasons the Newark settlers did not obtain a grant from the proprietors before negotiating with the native tribes They finally obtained the deed directly from Lenni Lenape in 1702 for 130 The settlements began until around the 1740s as the dispute between the proprietors and the settlers continued 26 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 27 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 His land like other settlers was levied with quit rents in the amount 40 shillings per acre He defended many settlers who were jailed for refusing to pay the quit rents 28 This series of events caused the settlers led by Timothy Meeker to form a group to riot against the British government The Horseneck Riots lasted for 10 years from 1745 to 1755 The group was also one of the first colonial militia which had periodic battles for 32 years leading up to the Revolutionary War as the group joined the Continental Army in 1776 29 After the American Revolutionary War more permanent settlements took place with the first school built in 1783 In 1811 a petition was filed to incorporate the township from about 100 people who lived in seven distinct areas Centerville separated to become Roseland in 1908 Cheapside now Livingston Mall Morehousetown now Livingston Circle Northfield now Northfield Center Squiretown now the Cerebral Palsy Institute of New Jersey on Old Road Teedtown now Livingston Center and Washington Place now near the border with Millburn 22 On February 5 1813 the township was officially incorporated The first town meeting was held on the same day and they decided to run the township by a Township Committee system 22 During the 1800s lumber and farming were major industries in the town Shoemaking and dairy farming became major industries during and after the Civil War However the population grew slowly because it was not easily accessible Mt Pleasant Avenue which was one of the first turnpikes in New Jersey was the only primary access to the town through stagecoaches 22 The population grew quickly after the 1920s when automobiles became more accessible As a suburb of Newark the town experienced many housing developments especially after World War II with its peak in 1970 of more than thirty thousand residents 22 During this growth period many services were organized including public library in 1916 volunteer Fire Department in 1922 first regular police chief in 1923 an ambulance unit in 1937 which became first aid squad in 1949 30 Some major relocations took place during this period of growing population shift Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center formerly Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Newark Academy moved from Newark to Livingston in 1964 31 32 The last surviving Harrison Cider Apple tree the most famous of the 18th century Newark cider apples was rescued from extinction in 1976 in Livingston 33 34 Today around 30 000 people live in this suburban community which lies around an hour from New York City Its school system which has been nationally recognized since 1998 and other programs have been drawing new residents to the town Its population has maintained a level of diversity while the residents continue
