History
In 1827, a trading post was set up at Liverpool. A settlement existed in 1834 and two years later a schoolteacher was hired. The town was formally established in 1837. It became a shipping point from Stephen F. Austin's colony for wool, hides, and produce via Chocolate Bayou. A person called Commodore Nelson named the town after the English port Liverpool. A post office opened in the town in 1846, but closed in 1867. The population began to decline after the American Civil War until there were only 20 residents in 1884. Nevertheless, the post office reopened in 1879 and remained. By 1890, the population numbered 136. In 1906, the local whites-only schools counted three teachers and 48 students. By 1914, the town had grown to 400 residents and included a hotel and two general stores. The population decreased in the 1920s so that it was about 150 in 1966. By 1988, the population numbered 627, helped by the opening of a nearby Monsanto plant. The 1990 and 2000 censuses recorded around 400 residents each.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
