History

Formed in 1799 from Christian County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Livingston County was created from Christian County in 1799. In 1809 it lost territory to the creation of Caldwell County, and in 1821 it lost territory to the creation of Calloway, Graves, Hickman, and McCracken counties. In 1838 it gained territory from Caldwell County, and in 1842 it lost territory to the creation of Crittenden County, then gained territory from Crittenden County in 1848.
