Livingston is a township in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 31,330,[9][10] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 1,964 (+6.7%) from 29,366 recorded at the 2010 census,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,975 (+7.2%) from the 27,391 counted in the 2000 census.[20] In 2023, the Population Estimates Program by the United States Census Bureau calculated that the township had a population of 31,089.[11]

Livingston was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 5, 1813, from portions of Caldwell Township (now Fairfield Township) and Springfield Township (now in Union County). Portions of the original township were later taken to form Fairmount (March 11, 1862, now part of West Orange) and Roseland (March 10, 1908).[21]

The township was named for William Livingston, the first Governor of New Jersey; his family's coat of arms served as the township's seal for many years.[22][23]

The community has been one of the state's highest-income communities. Based on data from the American Community Survey for 2013–2017, township residents had a median household income of $153,381, ranked 14th in the state among municipalities with more than 10,000 residents, more than double the statewide median of $76,475.[24][25]
