Duke University is a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. In 1924, tobacco and electric power industrialist James B. Duke established The Duke... Endowment, at which time the institution changed its name to honor his deceased father, Washington Duke. The university has "historical, formal, on-going, and symbolic ties" with the United Methodist Church, but is a nonsectarian and independent institution. Duke's research expenditures in the 2010 fiscal year topped $983 million, the fifth largest figure in the nation. Competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Duke's athletic teams—known as the Blue Devils—have captured twelve national championships, including four by its high profile men's basketball team. The university's campus spans over 8,600 acres on three contiguous campuses in Durham as well as a marine lab in Beaufort.

Livingston is a township in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township population was 29,366. Livingston was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 5, 1813, from portions of Caldwell Township and Springfield... Township . Portions of the township were taken to form Fairmount and Roseland . The township was given its name in honor of William Livingston, the first Governor of New Jersey with his family coat of arms as its seal. Livingston's history dates back to 1699 when 101 Newark settlers wanted to move westward. They set up a committee to negotiate the purchase from Lenni Lenape for the Horseneck Tract which today includes Livingston and eight other towns to the north. Between 1698 and 1702, the rules for property ownership were unclear. There were many disputes between settlers and the British proprietors. For some unknown reasons, the Newark settlers did not obtain a grant from the proprietors before negotiating with the natives.
