Liverpool, first called The Cloth Case, was founded in 1847 by Jean-Baptiste Ebrard, [2] a Frenchman who first started selling clothes in cases in Downtown Mexico City. In 1872, he started importing merchandise from Europe [ citation needed ]. Much of the merchandise was shipped via Liverpool, England, prompting Ebrard to adopt the name Liverpool for his store, in 1862 he opened its second store and since then it has continued growing [ citation needed ].
