Southport - Origin
Southport, in its present form, was founded by William Sutton in 1798. However, there have been settlements in the area for much longer than that: the northern part of the town around St Cuthbert's Church, formerly North Meols (now known as Churchtown), was mentioned in the Domesday book, and some areas of the town have names of Viking origin.
Southport grew quickly in the 19th Century as it gained a reputation for being a more refined seaside resort than its neighbour-up-the-coast Blackpool. Southport is a busy and friendly resort.
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, Ainsdale, and Woodvale; home to RAF Woodvale. The town of Formby is south of Southport, with Liverpool further southward.
