Liverpool is one of the oldest urban settlements in Australia, founded on 7 November 1810 as an agricultural centre by Governor Lachlan Macquarie. 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. The Liverpool area 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.
Liverpool has more recently undergone a rapid transformation into a major CBD in its own right. Less than one-third of residents are born in Australia, with the next most common countries of birth noted as Iraq, Indiz, Croatia, Fiji, Bosnia, and Herzegovina.
