Livingston, County seat in Polk County, Texas.

The settlement began in 1835 and became the county seat in 1846 when Polk County was formed. This role as an administrative center shaped its growth over time.
The town is home to twenty churches and a local newspaper that has served the community for over a century. These gather people together and shape how residents connect with one another.
