Liverpool combines the practical energy of a growing metropolitan centre with the riverfront character of an early colonial settlement, reflecting its position on the Georges River in south-western Sydney. Governor Lachlan Macquarie established the town in 1810, naming it after Liverpool in England; it was intended to serve the agricultural districts of the Cumberland Plain. Today, Liverpool is a major transport, health and education centre for the wider region, with a notably multicultural population and busy civic core. The river and its parklands provide a quieter counterpoint to the surrounding urban development.
