History
In the Domesday Book, Allerton appears as Alretune, meaning "the alder enclosure". This was derived from the Old English alr, meaning "alder", and tún, meaning "enclosure or village". Allerton was formerly a township in the parish of Childwall, in 1866 Allerton became a separate civil parish, it was made an urban district by the Local Government Act 1894, and added to the county borough of Liverpool on 9 November 1913.
On 1 April 1922, the parish was abolished and merged with Liverpool. In 1921, the parish had a population of 2070. Over the course of the 2010s, many new bars and restaurants have opened on Allerton Road, increasing its popularity.
