Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Livonia, MI

Livonia is a city in Wayne County, Michigan, a western suburb about 20 miles northwest of downtown Detroit.

Livonia was organized as a township on March 17, 1835, when it was split off from Nankin Township, and it did not become a city until 1950.

A Livonia post office was established in June 1834, a year before the township itself was organized.

Livonia was settled by pioneers from New England and New York who farmed the area through the 1800s.

The 2020 census counted 95,535 people in Livonia, making it Michigan's eighth-largest city.

Livonia has roughly 38,300 households, and about 87 percent of its homes are owner-occupied.

Livonia exploded with Detroit's postwar suburban boom, growing from 17,634 people in 1950 to more than 100,000 by 1990.

Greenmead Historical Park, a 95-acre city park, preserves pioneer Joshua Simmons's 1841 Greek Revival farmhouse and the North Barn, built in 1829 as the first barn in Livonia Township.

The Greenmead farm complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the city bought the site in 1976 to create the historical park.

Livonia is home to Madonna University, a private Catholic university, and to the main campus of Schoolcraft College, a public community college.
