Sense. Feel. Cultivate. Enjoy every aspect of Livonia. If earth’s great treasure lies in human personality then Livonia is a rich community indeed. The personality of this hometown was formed and shaped from the first farmer planting seeds in the fertile soil of Livonia Township. To recognize the work put into building the foundation of a long lasting, stable community the 1835 City Hall of Fame was established with the Inaugural Class being inducted in 2005.
Everyone who has lived, shopped or played in Livonia should give pause to thank those who gave of their time and energy so that those who call Livonia home will have that opportunity to enjoy the institutions already in place, the culture defined and the heritage appreciated.
The 1835 Livonia City Hall of Fame is conferred on those whose vision helped shape a community of which we are proud.
This commission given to the those hardworking founders carries with it a recognition that their work and deeds have advanced the good name, image and reputation of a hometown built with a desire to redefine community; engaging citizens, creating traditions and institutions of which we can all be proud. Their singular efforts will forever be recorded as playing a significant role in challenging future generations to raise the bar of excellence. This commission carries with it a responsibility to be Livonia’s continued ambassador of good will and fellowship around the world.
