Livingston, West Lothian history
Before 1962
Livingston is first mentioned in an early 12th-century charter as Villa Levingi (Leving’s town) In 1128 David I granted the newly founded Abbey of Holyrood control of the church at Livingston. The Leving family controlled the area until dying out in 1512. The area around Livingston was historically an important shale oil area, and the world’s first oil boom occurred in West Lothian.
New Town
Livingston was designated as a New Town on 16 April 1962 in order to ease overcrowding in Glasgow. Livingston was the fourth new town of five in Scotland; the others were East Kilbride, Glenrothes, Cumbernauld and Irvine. Three villages (Livingston Village and Livingston Station) and numerous farmsteads were incorporated into the Livingston new town. The first large building begun was the Corporation’s own offices in 1963.
