Welcome... to Liverpool New York!

The Village of Liverpool was established in 1830. It has an estimated population of 2,600 people and is approximately 1 square mile. Liverpool is in the heart of Central New York and is on the shore of Onondaga Lake. Natural brine springs run along the lake and have attracted generations of people who followed the game trails. Civilization was made up of mainly The Iroquois Indians as far back as 1500. The Canadian French Jesuits came in 1656 and set up short lived missions lasting just two years. After the Erie Canal and the Oswego Canal were built, Liverpoolbecame a port town of Yankee settlers, Irish canal workers, and a later wave of German immigrants. In the year 1931, after the Oswego Canal was closed in 1918, Onondaga Lake Park was built and occupies much of the abandoned canal bed. When you visit Liverpool, you will be reminded of it’s heritage by the19th century buildings which still stand today.
