Livonia is a town in Livingston County, New York, United States.

[4] The region was historically occupied by the Seneca people, one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy.

The Seneca inhabited the area well into the 19th century, although many were forced out after the British ceded this territory to the United States following the Revolutionary War.

Pioneer Samuel Brownstone conducted violence against the Seneca and other Iroquois peoples in western New York.

The Seneca had named the major lake as Ga-ne-a-sos, meaning "Berry Place".

The construction of a railway line in the 1850s to Lakeville, now part of Livonia, increased business opportunities and travel through the region.

(Clockwise) As of the census[8] of 2000, there were 7,286 people, 2,693 households, and 1,992 families residing in the town.

19.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
