Liverpool
Liverpool is an established residential, industrial and commercial area. Liverpool is bounded by Cabramatta Creek and Lachlan Street in the north, Orange Grove Road and the railway line in the east, the South Western Motorway in the south and Trotters Creek in the west. Liverpool is named after the Earl of Liverpool, who at the time was the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Settlement of the area dates from 1810, being one of the oldest areas of settlement within Liverpool City. Growth took place in the mid 1800s, following the opening of the railway line in 1856. Significant development occurred during the post-war years. The population has increased since the early 1990s, a result of new dwellings being added to the area, particularly medium density housing.
Major features of the area include the Liverpool CBD, Westfield Shoppingtown Liverpool, Liverpool Plaza Shopping Centre, TAFE NSW South Western Sydney Institute (Liverpool College), Liverpool Hospital, Sydney Southwest Private Hospital, Liverpool City Netball Centre, Whitlam Leisure Centre, Liverpool Cemetery, Bigge Park, Woodward Park and numerous schools.
