Welcome to the Howell Area Historical Society (HAHS). Founded in 1968, we are a non-profit organization (IRS 501c3) whose mission is bring together those in the community interested in the rich history of the Howell area.
Howell was first settled in 1834 by settlers from Detroit and incorporated in 1863. The village was laid out by Flavius J.B. Crane and Edward Brooks in July 1835, and was named Howell in honor of Thomas Howell, a friend of Crane's and son of a prominant judge of Candaequa, New York. The name did not come into immediate use, however, as it was called Livingston Centre for some time. Howell is the county seat of Livingston County, Michigan.
The HAHS officers for 2012-2013 are:
Jon Boegler - President
David Nagel - Vice President
Open seat - Secretary
Bruce Powelson- Treasurer
Judy Burns - Museum Director
Thomas Rice - Trustee
Esther Brown - Trustee
John Jankiewicz - Trustee
