==History== The plat for Livonia was laid out in May 1859 by Absalom Grogan and consisted of four blocks containing eight lots each. Grogan was also the town's first postmaster. Following his death, the post office was moved to the farm of Joseph Martin approximately three miles to the north of the original plat. The town, for all practical purposes, followed this move and by 1888 had the post office, Martin's general store, the blacksmith shop of Dan Kelly, and a population of around 15.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=%2Fmocohist&CISOPTR=95846&REC=1&CISOBOX=Livonia|title=History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and Schuyler Counties Missouri|publisher=Goodspeed Publishing Company|year=1888|accessdate=July 28, 2011}}</ref> On July 26, 2011, the [[United States Postal Service]] announced plans to permanently close the Livonia post office as part of a nationwide restructuring plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://about.usps.com/news/electronic-press-kits/expandedaccess/states/missouri.htm |title=Expanded Access List |publisher=U.S. Postal Service |date=July 26, 2011 |accessdate=July 26, 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925011948/http://about.usps.com/news/electronic-press-kits/expandedaccess/states/missouri.htm |archivedate=September 25, 2011 }}</ref>
