The history of Livingston can be traced to the settlement called Benson's Landing, which is located on the Yellowstone River 3 miles (4.8 km) downstream from the site of modern Livingston. As with many of the cities in Montana, its establishment was due to the construction of the Northern Pacific Railway. The site was originally called Clark City and then renamed Livingston, after a director of the railway, Johnston Livingston.
