Little Woolton was a former electoral ward in Liverpool, England, historically part ofLancashire before being incorporated into the County Borough of Liverpool in 1913.
Little Woolton ward was created to represent the historic township ofLittle Woolton, which was originally part ofLancashire before becoming part of Liverpool in 1913. The area remained largely rural with agricultural land and small settlements.
The ward existed as an administrative division until 1953, when it was merged with **Much Woolton ward** to form the larger **Woolton ward** as part of boundary changes within Liverpool.
Little Woolton ward was located in the southeastern part of Liverpool, borderingWoolton,Gateacre, andHalewood. It was known for its open spaces, farmland, and village-like atmosphere, in contrast to the more urbanized districts of Liverpool.
Although Little Woolton ward was abolished in 1953, the name **Little Woolton** is still used informally to describe the area. It retains historical significance due to its past as an independent township before Liverpool's expansion.
Following the resignation of Councillor Henry Glover (Conservative, Allerton, Childwall and Little Woolton, elected 1 November 1913)[1] which was reported to the Council on 6 September 1916,[2] Herbert Plant Harrison was appointed by the Council in his place on 4 October 1916.[3]
