History of Livingston Parish
Livingston Parish was
originally part of the Florida Parishes. The parish was created on
February 10, 1832, when the state Legislature split St. Helena Parish in
two. Historians differ as to which one the parish was named in
honor of, either Robert or Edward Livingston, however they cannot
unanimously agree on either one. Clark Forrest, Jr., in his article
entitled "Various Locations of the Livingston Parish Courthouse,"submits
that the parish is named in honor of Edward Livingston. In 1832
the Livingston Parish Courthouse origianaly was thought to be in
Van Buren, on the east bank of the Tickfaw River. Then in 1835 the
Courthouse was moved to Springfield where it stayed until 1869. In
1869, the parish lost territory when Tangipahoa Parish was created. As a
result of this the Courthouse was then relocated to Port Vincent in
1871. In 1881 the Courthouse was moved again to Centerville where it
stayed until 1941. In 1941 the town of Livingston was approved as the
fifth and final courthouse site.
