The Garifuna inhabit this area, who are descendants of slaves taken from the African continent to work on plantations, and local Indian tribes. The mixing of ethnic groups has created such an original culture and language here.
The town is named after the American legislator Edward Livingston, whose ideas were adopted by Guatemalan liberals of the early XIX century. Today it is a quiet, relaxed harbor, where boats, peace and grace are all around.
