About Livonia, MI

First settled by pioneers from New England and New York, an act by the Legislature of the Territory of Michigan established the borders of Livonia Township on March 17, 1835. The settlers brought with them the name "Livonia", a name that had already been given to Livonia, New York, Livonia, Pennsylvania and a region on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea named Livonia in present-day Estonia and Latvia. The name Livonia was chosen because a number of the earliest settlers had come from western New York, where there was also a town named Livonia. Livonia Township was split off from Nankin Township, in which a Livonia post office had been established in June 1834. During the days of the city being a township, many small communities have existed.
