Livingstone is a city in Southern Province, Zambia.[1] Lying 10 km (6 mi) to the north of the Zambezi River, it is a tourist attraction due to its proximity to the Victoria Falls[2][3][4] and its road and rail connections to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the resort town on the opposite side of the falls. A historic British colonial city, its present population was enumerated at 177,393 inhabitants at the 2022 census.[5] It is named after David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer and missionary who was the first European to explore the area.[6] From 1911 until 1935, it served as the first capital of Northern Rhodesia. From 1907 to 2011, when replaced by Choma, Livingstone was the capital of Zambia's Southern Province.
