2015-2016 LIVINGSTON COUNTY DIRECTORY
Of National, State, County, Township, City and Village Officials
Compiled by: Margaret M. Dunleavy Livingston County Clerk Howell, Michigan
The Courthouse you see today is the second courthouse to occupy this site. The first building was a brick Greek Revival structure in 1847. This courthouse was torn dow n to make room for the present Courthouse, which was built in 1889. The Richardson Romanesque building was designed by Albert E. French, a Detroit architect. The site was deeded to Livingston County w ith the stipulation that it be used for county court purposes.
Located on Grand River Avenue in dow ntown Howell, the Courthouse stands stately and proud, w ith its clock tower visible for miles. Its main structural components are brick, Ohio blue stone and slate. These materials were selected for their durability.
William Kessler and Associates w ere commissioned in 1975 to update the Courthouse which is listed on the National Register of Historic Pages. The Victorian atmosphere is enhanced by the restoration of the oak woodwork, braze hardware and marble floors. It is further complemented by the restoration and recreation of the original colors and decorative paintings. The preservation of the Courthouse offers the opportunity to save an important landmark for future generations to enjoy.

ORGANIZATION OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
The territory, now Livingston County, was part of Shiawassee and W ashtenaw Counties until March 21, 1833, when Governor George B. Porter approved an Act of Legislature to provide for the laying out of Livingston County. The county received its name in honor of Edward Livingston, Secretary of State under President Jackson. The actual organization of the county was effected under an Act of Legislature March 24th, 1836, and the county was composed of the townships of Green Oak (which included Brighton), Hamburg (which included Genoa), Putnam (which included Marion), Unadilla (which included Iosco), and Howell (which included the present Oceola, Deerfield, Cohoctah, Conway, Handy and Tyrone). Under the provisions of the Act organizing Livingston County, a special election for county officers was held on the first Monday in May, 1836, resulting in the election of the first county officials as follows: Sheriff, Justus J. Bennett; County Clerk, F.J.B. Crane; Register of Deeds, Ely Barnard; Treasurer, Amos Adams; Judge of Probate, Kingsley S. Bingham (who became governor later); County Surveyor, Amos Adams; Coroners, John W . Peavey and John Drake; Associate Judges, Elisha W . Brockway and Elnathan Noble. The total number of votes cast at this election was 108.
ORGANIZATION AND FIRST PROCEEDING OF THE LIVINGSTON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The first meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held at the home of Amos Adams in Howell, on the 4th day of October, 1836. Supervisors present were Kingsley S. Bingham of Green Oak Township, Christopher L. Culver of Hamburg Township, John Hudson of Putnam Township, Philester Jessup of Howell Township, Eli Lee of Hartland Township. Eli Lee was chosen moderator and Ely Barnard, clerk. The following day Elnathan Noble of Unadilla Township Arrived and took his seat and the Board proceeded to do the County business. The session continued until October 6th when the Board adjourned “Sine die”. The first business at this session was the creation of a $3.00 bounty on wolves, which were rampant in this area at the time, and the apportionment of taxes in the several townships. The first Probate Judge of Livingston County was Hon. Kingsley S. Bingham. No business was done in the Probate office during his incumbency. The first Probate Court in the county was held by his successor the Hon. James W . Stansbury of Pinckney Village on the 25th day of December, 1838, and the first business was the appointment of a guardian for the minor heirs of Henry Zulauf, deceased. The first Circuit Court for Livingston County was held at the schoolhouse in the Village of Howell on the 8th day of November, 1837. Present were the Hon. W illiam A. Fletcher, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Hon. Elisha W . Brockway, and Hon. Elnathan Noble, Associate Judges. Judge Fletcher was, at one time, Attorney General for the territory.

EARLY HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY
The earliest settlements in Livingston County were made in the southern and southeastern parts of the county. The first white person to settle within the present limits of Livingston County was Colonel Soloman Peterson, who settled on Portage Creek, in the township now know as Putnam, in the year 1829. He came from Detroit by way of Ann Arbor. Next to Putnam, Green Oak was the earliest settled township. Its first settlers, Stephen Lee and Benjamin Curtis, came to make their homes here in the fall of 1830. Hartland’s first settler was Colonel Samuel Mapes from Niagara County, N.Y., in the years 1831 and 1832. Eli Lee also came to Hartland a year or two later.
