Livingston County, County administration center in Howell, Michigan, US
Livingston County is a county in southeastern Michigan that combines urban neighborhoods with rural farmland and natural areas. The region includes residential communities, forests, and water bodies that form the backbone of the local landscape.
The area was established as a county in 1833 and named after Edward Livingston, who served in President Andrew Jackson's government. This early founding made it part of Michigan's development during the period of westward expansion.
Local residents participate in food drives and community support programs through the Livingston County Law Enforcement's annual collection initiatives.
The area is connected by three main highways – I-96, US 23, and M-59 – to nearby major cities. These routes make it easy for daily commuting and traveling to other regional centers.
The Brighton Recreation Area within the county borders incorporates 4,947 acres of woods, lakes, and trails for outdoor activities.
