Livingston Directory

The original NJTGO Livingston town directory content is preserved below and can be expanded with featured listings, updated links, photos, business placements, and advertising opportunities.

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

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.

The Force House & Historical Museum

Originally built in 1745 by Theophelous Ward. The large
room with the area above was the entire house.

Samuel Force, of French Huguenot origin, purchased the
house in 1777 for his son Thomas, who was born in 1758
and served in the Revolutionary War. He was captured
and held a prisoner of war on the British ship "Jersey".
After the war, he and his wife, the former Hannah Smith,
settled in the house and became the parents of ten children.

As the family increased in number and Thomas became
more affluent, he added the larger section of the home.

Thomas operated a saw mill across the street until May, 1816,
when his eighteen month old grandson, John Anderson,
died as a result of a fall through the mill. The mill was
never used again. The ruins of its foundation are still visible.

The Township of Livingston purchased the Force Home in 1962.
The outside was in fairly good condition, however, the inside
was badly in need of repair.
