LIVINGSTON, 4.7 miles (410 alt., 4,000 pop.), a lively business center
with residential blocks of dwellings almost uniform in color and design, is
named for William Livingston, New Jersey's Revolutionary Governor and
one of the signers of the Constitution.
Its improved streets deaden into vacant lots as State 10 descends to the
valley where the marshes of the Passaic River's backwaters lie north and
south. In these slender troughs of wilderness, observers for the Audubon
Society report, a great many kinds of birds nest in summer and rest during
migrations. Beyond the hummocks and tules of the swamp extends a ridge
identified as post-glacial, once having been an island in a great inland sea
known geologically as Lake Passaic.
