The history of Livingston can be traced to the settlement called Benson's Landing, which is located on the Yellowstone River 3 miles (4.8 km) downstream from the site of modern Livingston. As with many of the cities in Montana, its establishment was due to the construction of the Northern Pacific Railway. The site was originally called Clark City and then renamed Livingston, after a director of the railway, Johnston Livingston.

Livingston experiences a continental climate. Hottest months are July and August, with average high temperatures of 85°F (29°C). January is the coldest month, when the average low drops to 16°F (-9°C). Livingston gets the most rain in May, at 2.83 in (71.9 mm).

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
