Schools Economic Life

The City of Howell, as we know it now, was established as a village by an act of Legislature on March
14, 1863, consisting of sections 35 and 36, and the south half of sections 25 and 26 of Howell Township.

The first actual settlements in Howell, were made by George T. Sage, John D. Pinckney, James Sage,
and David Austin in the year 1834. The village was laid out by Flavius J. B. Crane and Edward Brooks
in July 1835, and was named Howell in honor of Thomas Howell, a friend of Mr. Crane and son of Judge
Howell of Candaequa, New Jersey. The name did not come into immediate use, however, as it was called

Livingston Centre for quite some time.

In 1835, John D. Pinckney built the first log house in this area and
the settlement became known as Livingston Centre. In this

year, Moses Thompson and his family migrated here
from New York and Livingston Centre began to grow
in population.

The first building erected was a two story frame house,
which was a public house. This structure was built by

Misters Crane and Brooks
and was known as the

Eagle Tavern.
