During the Middle Ages, the lordship of Livry (seigneur de Livry) was held by members of the House of Garlande before passing to Pierre de Chambly, chamberlain of King Philip IV, in 1285.
On 20 May, 1869, a part of the territory of Livry-Gargan was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Clichy-sous-Bois and a small part of the territory of Gagny to create the commune of Le Raincy.
