More about Livingston County
Livingston was established on February 27, 1837. It was formed from parts of McLean, LaSalle, and Iroquois counties, and named after Edward Livingston, a prominent politician who was mayor of New York City and represented New York in the United States House of Representatives and Louisiana in both houses of Congress. He later served as Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of State and as Minister to France. Although he had no connections to Illinois, the General Assembly found him accomplished enough to name a county after him.
Fascinating Fact: One of the notable residents of Livingston County is none other than Michael Myers, the serial killer from the Halloween movie series! The fictional town in the series was Haddonfield, IL and it was supposedly located 3.5 miles northeast of Pontiac and 15 miles southwest of Dwight. Does that mean Cayuga is Haddonfield?
