Livingston County, Illinois History and Genealogy Presented by: Illinois Genealogy Trails a part of Genealogy Trails
My name is Teri Moncelle Colglazier and I am the Livingston County Coordinator for Illinois Genealogy Trails. While I was born, raised and still reside in the Lexington / Gridley (McLean County) area, much of my genealogical reasearch has overlapped into Livingston County. Genealogy has been my passion (my family claims it's an addiction) for over ten years now and I am excited to pass on the information that has been gathered on this county. If you have any information that you would like to share, please email me. |

Est. 27 Feb 1837 [wikipedia.org] Livingston County was founded on February 27, 1837. It was formed from parts of McLean, LaSalle, and Iroquois counties, and named after Edward Livingston, a prominent politician. He was the mayor of New York City, represented New York in the United States House of Representatives, then represented Louisiana in both houses of Congress. He was Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State, and the United States Minister to France. Although he had no connections to Illinois, the General Assembly found him accomplished enough to name a county after him. The county seat is Pontiac.
