'''Liverpool''' is a lakeside [[Administrative divisions of New York#Village|village]] in [[Onondaga County, New York|Onondaga County]], [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 2,242.<ref name="Census 2010">{{Cite web| url=https://www.census.gov| title=Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (DP-1): Liverpool village, New York| publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]| access-date=August 10, 2012}}</ref> The name was adopted from the city of [[Liverpool]] in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gannett|first=Henry|title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ|year=1905|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ/page/n187 188]}}</ref> The village is on [[Onondaga Lake]], in the western part of the town of [[Salina, New York|Salina]] and is northwest of [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]], of which it is a [[suburb]].

== History ==
[[Image:VillLiverpool.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Liverpool in 2004]]
The area was originally inhabited by the [[Iroquois]], starting in the 16th century. In the mid-17th century, Canadian French [[Jesuits]] visited the area, setting up missions. These were not permanent, however. An example of these missions is [[Sainte Marie among the Iroquois]], on Onondaga Lake just outside the village. Once the (Erie Canal) and (Oswego Canal) were built, the area was settled by Irish canal workers, Yankee settlers, and, later, German immigrants. The early recorded name for the village was "Little Ireland".

The [[Lucius Gleason House]] and [[Liverpool Cemetery]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2009a}}</ref><ref name="nps">{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/listings/20150612.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places|date=June 12, 2015|work=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 6/01/15 through 6/05/15 |publisher=National Park Service}}</ref>

===Erie Canal and salt===

[[Image:Salt Museum, Liverpool NY.jpg|thumb|The Salt Museum on the shore of Onondaga Lake in 2015]]

Early industries included several salt works in the 19th century and a [[sawmill]]. Liverpool played an important role in the salt industry on the shores of Onondaga Lake. A history of the area's [[salt mining]] can be found at the [[Salt Museum (Liverpool, New York)|Salt Museum]].

===Village incorporated===
The [[New York State]] surveyor general laid out the streets in the village, changed its name from "Little Ireland" to "Liverpool", and had it incorporated on April 20, 1830.<ref name="danforth">{{cite news|date=March 20, 1939|title=Liverpool Was First Named For Irish|newspaper=[[Syracuse Journal]]|location=Syracuse, New York}}</ref> It was renamed after the city of [[Liverpool]] in England, most likely because it also produced salt and village leaders wanted to use the name recognition of another famous salt-producing region; coincidentally, 15 years later, the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Famine]] caused so many people to sail from Ireland to England for a new life in Liverpool that the city gained the nickname "Little Ireland" and its demographic makeup remains the most overwhelmingly Irish of any community in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/nostalgia/second-capital-ireland-liverpools-unique-21011045 | title=Second capital of Ireland: Liverpool's unique Irish history and culture and what it means to the city | date=July 25, 2021 |access-date=August 23, 2022}}</ref>

===Industry===
The hotel business was booming. George Ingersoll built the Globe Hotel. Liverpool was also a [[cigar]] manufacturing center during the 1890s.<ref name="danforth" /> In 1918, the [[Oswego Canal]] was closed. [[Onondaga Lake Park]], established in 1931, is now the location of much of the old canal bed.
