History
Fazakerley takes its name from Anglo-Saxon root words—all descriptive words pertaining to land; *Fæs-æcer-lēah. This can be broken down to fæs (border or fringe), æcer (field) and lēah, meaning a wood or clearing.
In 1321, Fazakerley was described as follows: "the country is extremely flat and treeless, with nothing to recommend it to the passer-by, for it seems to be a district of straight lines, devoid of any beauty." It had an area of 1,709 acres (6.92 km2); it was separated from Walton by a brook and from West Derby partly by Sugar Brook up to Stone bridge.
Fazakerley was formerly a township in the parish of Walton-on-the-Hill; in 1866, Fazakerley became a separate civil parish and the parish was abolished and merged with Liverpool on 1 April 1922. In 1921, the parish had a population of 6,055.
The suburb was once home to a Royal Ordnance Factories plant at ROF Fazakerley, which manufactured weapons such as the Lee–Enfield rifle, Sten and Sterling submachine guns both during and after World War II. The ROF started shutting down in June 1960 and it was fully shutdown by December 1960 it was transformed into housing and the Aintree Industrial Estate
