==History==

Its estimated population in [[2002]] was 163,464. The City covers an area of 313 square kilometres, though most of this is still agricultural land.

===Indigenous===

Before British colonisation, Liverpool was the country of the Cabrogal people of the [[Dharug]] nation. The term "cabro" (also pronounced "cobra" or "cabra") refers to the edible insect larvae found in timber around the region. The country of the Cabrogal clan extended from the areas of what is now [[Cabramatta, New South Wales|Cabramatta]] and Liverpool, east to the mouth of the [[Georges River]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Report from the Select Committee on the condition of the Aborigines |date=1845 |publisher=W.W. Davies |___location=Sydney |url=https://hunterlivinghistories.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1845-condition-of-the-aborigines.pdf}}</ref>

===British colonisation===

Liverpool is at the head of navigation of the [[Georges River]] and combined with the Great Southern Railway from Sydney to [[Melbourne]] reaching Liverpool in the late [[1850s]], Liverpool became a major agricultural and transportation centre as the land in the district was very productive. A large [[Australian Army|army]] base was established in Liverpool during [[World War I]], and exists to this day as the [[Holsworthy]] Barracks. There are a number of other military establishments in neighbouring Moorebank.

Liverpool is one of the oldest urban settlements in Australia, founded on 7 November 1810<ref>{{cite web|title=Lachlan Macquarie - 1810 journal [November]|url=http://www.mq.edu.au/macquarie-archive/lema/1810/1810nov.html#nov7|website=Lachlan & Elizabeth Macquarie Archive|access-date=5 December 2016|archive-date=20 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220103605/http://www.mq.edu.au/macquarie-archive/lema/1810/1810nov.html#nov7|url-status=live}}</ref> as an agricultural centre by Governor [[Lachlan Macquarie]]. He named it after [[Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool|Robert Banks Jenkinson]], [[Earl of Liverpool]], who was then the Secretary of State for the Colonies and the English city of [[Liverpool]], upon which some of the area's architecture is based.<ref>''The Book of Sydney Suburbs'', Compiled by Frances Pollon, Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1990, p.155, {{ISBN|0-207-14495-8}}</ref>

The Post Office opened at Liverpool on 1 March 1825 - one of the first Post Offices to be opened in New South Wales. Liverpool was one of the six stations on the first line of Telegraphs to be constructed in this Colony.

Until the 1950s, Liverpool was still a satellite town with an agricultural economy based on poultry farming and [[market gardening]]. However the tidal surge of urban sprawl which engulfed the rich flatlands west of Sydney known as the [[Cumberland Plain]] soon reached Liverpool, and it became an outer suburb of metropolitan Sydney with a strong working-class presence and manufacturing facilities. Liverpool also became renowned for its vast Housing Commission estates housing thousands of low-income families after the slum clearance and [[urban renewal]] programs in inner-city Sydney in the 1960s.

On 26 January 1858, a Telegraph Office was opened at the Railway Station. Later, on 12 July 1878, these two offices were amalgamated and plans proposed to construct a joint office.

Today Liverpool continues to grow, with new residential subdivisions and shopping centres being constructed in the western part of the City of Liverpool. Much of the City's area is still devoted to smallhold agriculture, though this is slowly being enveloped by urban sprawl. Though it has lost much of its old working-class character and has become one of the most multicultural cities in Australia.

Finally, a Foundation Stone was laid prior to construction starting. Mrs. N. G. Bull of Cabramatta had the honour of laying the Stone - such a responsibility given to a woman bringing great indignation by the Mayor and several of the leading men. An Indignation Meeting held soon after confirmed unanimously that Mrs Bull was "a fit and proper person" to have laid the stone.<ref>{{Cite web |last =Johnstone, James Dr. |title =Telegrams in Australia |url =https://telegramsaustralia.com/Forms/Telegraph%20Offices/NSW/NSW%20TOs%20First%20line.html#Liverpool |access-date =7 May 2023 |archive-date =7 May 2023 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20230507000645/https://telegramsaustralia.com/Forms/Telegraph%20Offices/NSW/NSW%20TOs%20First%20line.html#Liverpool |url-status =live }}</ref>

Liverpool is well served by transport facilities such as the [[Hume Highway]], the [[Metroad 5|M5 motorway]], a frequent electric railway service to Sydney, [[Campbelltown, New South Wales|Campbelltown]] and [[Parramatta]] and the Hoxton Park Airport. It is home to the largest municipal library in Australia, a large district hospital, two technical colleges and many shopping centres and office buildings. Industries include a large cable factory, a telephone manufacturer, pharmaceutical laboratories and cold storage plants.

Liverpool has an arts and creation centre which provides music lessons with instruments such as:guitar, drums and banjo etc.

Liverpool is currently served by a full-time radio station [http://893fm.com.au 89.3FM 2GLF] which broadcasts local information, music and ethnic programming. It is one of the first FM radio stations setup in the early '80s.

Liverpool has had several newspapers since the late 1800s. The first newspaper appeared in Liverpool in 1886 was ''The Liverpool Times'' which was soon superseded by ''The Liverpool Mercury''. Both of these newspapers were then incorporated with ''[[The Liverpool Herald]]''. There was also the free newspaper ''[[The Liverpool News]]'' that ran from 1904 to about 1973.

Liverpool now has two newspapers, ''The Liverpool Leader'' and ''The Liverpool Champion'' published every Wednesday.

==Demographics==

[[File:LiverpoolNSWmap.jpg|thumb|Location map of '''Liverpool''' based on NASA satellite images]]

According to the [[2021 Australian census|2021 census]] conducted by the [[Australian Bureau of Statistics]], Liverpool had a population of 31,078. These came from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds; approximately one-third (33.9%) of residents were born in Australia. The next most common countries of birth were [[Iraq]] (11.3%), [[India]] (4.9%), [[Vietnam]] (3.1%), [[Fiji]] (2.7%), and [[Philippines]] (2.2%). The most popular ethnic responses were Australian (9.4%), Iraqi (8.3%), English (8.3%), Serbian (6.9%), and Indian (6.8%).<ref name="ABSStats"/>

24.6% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Arabic 19.2%, Serbian 6.5%, Vietnamese 4.4%, Hindi 3.2%, and Urdu 2.4%.<ref name="ABSStats"/>

Liverpool is remarkable for the high proportion of people who reported following some religion in the Census; only 12.1% stated that they had no religion, much lower than the national average of 38.4%. This Census question is optional and 10.9% of residents did not respond to it, which introduces some uncertainty into all the religious figures. The most common responses for religion were Islam 16.4%, Catholic 16.2%, and "Miscellaneous Religions" 9.2%.<ref name="ABSStats"/>

Currently in 2025, the population for Liverpool is 250k people living there according to new statistics. It is also projected that the population will increase by 37% by [https://forecast.id.com.au/liverpool/about-forecast-areas 2046.]
