Covered bridge in Livingston, Alabama.

Livingston

Livingston, located in Sumter County, is a city with a rich history and a vibrant present. Established in 1835, it was named after Edward Livingston, a prominent statesman. Livingston was once Choctaw Indian land until the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, after which settlers from various states formed the initial community. Today, Livingston offers scenic waterfront views at Mimosa Ridge, ample hiking with the Sumter County Nature Trails, and a touch of wonder at Bored Well; an artesian spring with supposed medicinal properties.
