Livingston Commemorated
In 1904 the U.S. Post office issued a series of postage stamps commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase along with the central figures involved in this historical transformation of the United States. The engraved image of Livingston is taken from a Gilbert Stuart (1783–1872) oil painting of 1794.
Livingston County, Kentucky and Livingston County, New York are named for him. A statue of Livingston was commissioned by New York State and placed in the U.S. Capitol building pursuant to the tradition of each state selecting two individuals from the state to be so honored.
