The legislature organized Livingston County on March 24, 1836, and Howell was slated to be its seat, but nearby Brighton held the seat for the next twelve years. Howell's first post office opened in January 1836 in the Eagle Tavern, with Flavius J. B. Crane as postmaster, and that March a mail route from Kensington to Grand Rapids began passing through. The town's first manufacturing enterprise was a sawmill built in 1836, soon followed by a blacksmith shop. Originally called Livingston Center, it was formed as a village by an act of the legislature on March 14, 1863.
Abraham Losford, Howell's first Black resident, had fled slavery in Kentucky, where he had worked as a plantation barber, and local residents helped him open a barber shop downtown, which he kept until his death in 1897. By the 1890s several Black families lived in Howell, among them the Childers family, also formerly enslaved in Kentucky, whose daughters Lulu and Nancy were valedictorians of Howell High School in 1890 and 1893. George Jewett, born in Ann Arbor in 1870, the first Black player in the Big Ten Conference, playing football for Michigan and Northwestern, practiced medicine briefly in Chicago before settling near Howell, where he became the high school football coach, the first Black coach of a Michigan high school. Howell adopted a home rule city charter in 1955. Sources Wikipedia: Howell, Michigan
