History of Southport

Southport, was founded by William Sutton ("The Mad Duke") in 1792. However, there have been settlements in the area for much longer than that: the northern part of the town around St Cuthbert's Church (in the part of the parish of North Meols now known as Churchtown), was mentioned in the 'Doomesday Book', and some areas of the town have names of Viking origin. Southport began to develop during the late 19th century in an area about 2 miles south of the, 'Doomsday Book,' village of Churchtown. During this growth in the 19th century Southport gained a reputation for being a more refined seaside resort than its neighbour "Blackpool". The permanent funfair, Pleasureland closed in late 2006. A replacement fairground on the same site, provisionally named New Pleasureland, opened in July 2007.

Southport's suburbs are built around, and still named after, the old villages of the area. From north to south, the districts are: Crossens, Marshside, Churchtown, Blowick, Birkdale, Hillside, Ainsdale, and Woodvale; home to RAF Woodvale. The town of Formby is south of Southport, with Hightown and Liverpool further southward, along the A565 road.

Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte lived in exile on Lord Street, the main thoroughfare of Southport, between 1846 and 1848, before returning to France, where he became President and subsequently Emperor of the French.
