The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Livermore was founded in 1879. The community grew in importance as an agricultural center with grain elevators and feed mills and merchants serving the surrounding rich farmland. The community is located adjacent to the confluence of the East Fork Des Moines River and Lott's Creek. Early industries included a brick and tile factory and agricultural products processing. As north central Iowa's rural population dwindled, so has Livermore's population. Its remaining elementary school closed in 2005.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Livermore has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Lu Verne City Jail in Lu Verne, 5.9 miles away.
