Livingston is the parish seat, and its postal code is 70754. The parish has 6 incorporated municipalities (2 cities, 3 towns, 3 villages), plus one large census-designated place and several unincorporated communities. Livingston Parish is in the Central time zone, and its FIPS code is 22063.<\/p>\n
Denham Springs is the largest city; Livingston, in the parish’s centre, is the seat of government. Louisiana parishes are administered by a police jury or parish council rather than townships, so the table below groups incorporated places (cities, towns, villages) and the parish’s one large CDP together, followed by unincorporated communities that appear on parish maps but have no municipal government of their own.<\/p>\n

Several small named places listed on parish maps — boat landings such as Carthage Bluff Landing, Neal Landing, Tiger Bluff Landing and Union Landing, plus a number of manufactured-home parks — were omitted here as they are private facilities rather than settlements.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nSmaller unincorporated places such as Clio, Coteau Bourgeois, Doyle, Georgeville and Whitehall are not verified against a specific delivery ZIP and are omitted from the list above.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nLivingston Parish sits on the Florida Parishes side of the Mississippi River, between the river’s east bank and the Pearl River basin — a low, flat landscape of pine flatwoods, bottomland hardwood and swamp. The Amite River runs along the parish’s western edge, and Lake Maurepas forms most of its southern boundary, a brackish estuary lake connected to Lake Pontchartrain. The parish is roughly 8% water.<\/p>\n Livingston Parish borders East Baton Rouge Parish<\/a> to the west, East Feliciana Parish<\/a> to the northwest, St. Helena Parish to the north, Tangipahoa Parish<\/a> to the east, and Ascension Parish<\/a> to the southwest, with Lake Maurepas separating it from St. John the Baptist Parish to the south.<\/p>\n Livingston Parish had 142,282 residents at the 2020 census, making it one of the fastest-growing parishes in the Baton Rouge metro area. Denham Springs, the largest city, had 10,215 residents; Walker, the second-largest, had 6,747. The parish’s median household income runs well above the Louisiana median of $58,229, reflecting its role as a suburban commuter parish for Baton Rouge. Population density is roughly 220 people per square mile of land.<\/p>\n Most working residents commute west into East Baton Rouge Parish, but the parish itself has a growing retail and light-industrial base along the Interstate 12 corridor through Denham Springs and Walker. The parish hosts one of the two LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) sites, southeast of Livingston, where the first direct detection of gravitational waves was confirmed in 2015. Antique Village and the historic Denham Springs Antique District, rebuilt after severe flooding in 2016, anchor the parish’s small tourism trade.<\/p>\n Livingston Parish was created in 1832 from parts of St. Helena Parish, and is named for Edward Livingston, the American jurist and statesman who helped draft the Louisiana Civil Code of 1825. Unlike most of Louisiana, the Florida Parishes — Livingston among them — were never part of French or Spanish Louisiana proper; they belonged to British and then Spanish West Florida until American settlers seized the territory in the 1810 West Florida Rebellion. In August 2016, the parish suffered catastrophic flooding when more than 20 inches of rain fell in two days, damaging thousands of homes along the Amite River.<\/p>\n Interstate 12 runs east-west through the parish, connecting Denham Springs and Walker to Baton Rouge and Hammond. U.S. Highway 190 and Louisiana Highway 63 provide additional local access.<\/p>\n Where is Livingston Parish?<\/strong> What is the population of Livingston Parish?<\/strong> How big is Livingston Parish?<\/strong> What is the Livingston Parish seat?<\/strong> How many towns and villages are in Livingston Parish?<\/strong> |
