Livengood lies 50 miles northwest of Fairbanks where the Dalton Highway meets the Elliott Highway.

Year-round employment in Livengood, population about 30, is limited. Some residents are retired.

The Dalton Highway provides year-round access to the North Slope and to Fairbanks. A 1,415-foot gravel runway is available.

History

Gold was discovered on July 24, 1914, on Livengood Creek by N.R. Hudson and Jay Livengood. The village was founded near their claim as a mining camp during the winter of 1914-15, when hundreds of people came into the district. A post office was established in 1915 and was discontinued in 1957.

Fourteen percent of the population is Alaska Native or part Native. A large number of the 31 homes in Livengood are seasonally occupied.
