North Toxteth was an electoral ward in Liverpool, established under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. It covered the northern part of the historic Toxteth area, south of the city centre, a district that was rapidly urbanising during the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom.

Overview

The ward elected councillors to Liverpool Town Council, playing a role in local governance, infrastructure, and public services. Polling often took place in community hubs like public houses, reflecting the civic life of the era.

By the late 19th century, Liverpool's growing population and boundary reorganisations led to the ward's dissolution. Its territory was absorbed into new wards. It used to cover modern areas such as Princes Park and Riverside.
