Livingston Manor, New York is a town in Sullivan County.
Livingston Manor was a 160,000-acre (6,400 km²) tract of land granted to Robert R. Livingston (1654-1728) through the influence of Governor Thomas Dongan, and confirmed by royal charter of King George I in 1715, creating the manor and lordship of Livingston. This tract embraced large portions of what are now Dutchess and Columbia counties. A portion of it is still held by the Livingston family. The town of Livingston, New York occupies part of the original tract.
Although an English-deeded tract, some sources list Livingston Manor with the patroonships of New Netherland.
