According to the mythology, Livadeia beard its name from the fabulous hero Levados, who is reported as its first settler. According to some traditions, the city at the pre-historic period, was named Midia and was built on a hill.
From the ancient years, Livadeia constituted an important economic centre. At 395 b.C. the city was conquered by Lisandros and later robbed by Arhelaos. In the Byzantine years, Livadeia suffered from a lot of raids, from Katalans, Slavs and Franks.
