Liverpool City


Intro
Liverpool is a city in the northwest of England. In the 18th century the city grew
enormously through trade to the Caribbean, Ireland and Europe. By the 19th
century, more than 40 percent of world trade entered the Liverpool port.
Nowadays the city is not really a port city anymore, but it is more of a tourist
city. The city of Liverpool has about half a million inhabitants and is therefore
one of the largest cities in England.


History
The name Liverpool comes from the Old English lifer, meaning thick or muddy
water, and pōl, meaning a pool or creek, and is first recorded around 1190 as
Liuerpul. The original reference was to a pool which is now filled up. The name
has changed several times after all the years and eventually became Liverpool
as it is now.
In 1207 King John decided to build a borough on the spot where Liverpool now
stands. Four centuries later, the population had not grown very large. The
population was around 500 inhabitants. In the 17th century the first trade
started and the population grew. Also the first slave ship left to Africa. The city
benefited a lot from the increase in the slave trade. Because of this, the city
grew enormously. At the end of the 17th century, the port held 41 percent of
Europe's slave trade and about eighty percent of England. This made it the
largest port in slave trade in England.
By 1850 about a quarter of the population was Irish immigrants. This was
because there was a hunger short in Ireland.
Liverpool suffered extensive damage during World War II. From the 80
bombings, half of the houses were destroyed. This meant that a lot of new
houses had to be built after the Second World War.
