Gold was discovered in 1914, on Livengood Creek by N.R. Hudson and Jay Livengood. The village was founded near the Hudson/Livengood claim as a mining camp during the winter of 1914-1915, when hundreds of people came into the district.
A post office was established in 1915 and was discontinued in 1957.
A construction camp was located near Livengood during the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
