Everton, Liverpool history

---

Everton is an ancient settlement and was one of the six unnamed berewicks of West Derby. Until the late 18th century Everton was a small rural parish of Walton-on-the-Hill. The rise in wealth of nearby Liverpool pushed its wealthier merchants towards Everton and further afield to live. Much of the land in Everton was once owned by the local Hodson family. Along with neighbouring Vauxhall, Everton housed a very large Irish population.
