History of Livermore 

The Saunders family mostly owned a maximum of the places of Livermore. Even the logging operation in Livermore was also established by Daniel Saunders Jr. and Charles W. Saunders, the members of the Saunders family. In the early days when there were only woodlands this place along with the nearby town Lincoln woodland was known as "Pemigewasset Wilderness". But after the town was built here, it was named after Samuel Livermore, who was a former Senator of the United States and was the grandfather of Daniel Saunders's wife. As there were no such boundaries between the two towns of Livermore and Lincoln many charges and countercharges happened between the two families of Saunders from Livermore and James Everall Henry from Lincoln. But in later years there was a settlement that happened under the supervision of the New Hampshire legislature and drew the borders of these two towns.Once mined in the East pond of Livermore, there were found Tripolite, also known as Diatomaceous Earth. Later the road to the East was named after Tripoli road. The town was operated by several corporations. For instance, in 1874, Grafton County Lumber Co. Incorporate, 1875, Sawyer River Railroad incorporate, etc.
