Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England, along the eastern
side of the Mersey Estuary. It was founded as a borough in 1207 and was granted
city status in 1880.
Liverpool was described as ‘The second city of empire’ by Disraeli, the Prime Minister
associated with the height of Britain's Imperial ambition. For periods during the
19th century the wealth of Liverpool exceeded that of London itself, and Liverpool's
Custom House was the single largest contributor to the British Exchequer. Liverpool's
status can be judged from the fact that it was the only British city ever to have
its own Whitehall office.
The first United States consul anywhere in the world, James Maury, was appointed
to Liverpool in 1790, and remained in office for 39 years.
As early as 1851 the city was described as "the New York of Europe" and its buildings,
constructed on a heroic, even megalomaniacal scale, stand witness to the supreme
confidence and ambition of the city at the turn of the 20th century. Liverpool was
also the site of the UK's first provincial airport, operating from 1930.
