Livermore (local /ˈlivərmɔːr/) is a home rule-class city located at the confluence of the Green and Rough rivers in McLean County in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The population was 1,482 at the time of the year 2000 U.S. census. It is included in the Owensboro metropolitan area.
Livermore is located at 37°29′28″N 87°8′7″W / 37.49111°N 87.13528°W (37.490987, -87.135340). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.
William Brown founed the city in 1837 as Brown's Landing, but the post office established the next year took the name Livermore. The origin is disputed: some historians trace it to an otherwise-unknown shopkeeper named James Livermore, others to civil engineer Alonzo Livermore who helped construct a dam across the Green River at Rumsey. The city was formally incorporated by the state assembly in 1850.
