Little Woolton was a former electoral ward in Liverpool, England, historically part of Lancashire before being incorporated into the County Borough of Liverpool in 1913.
History Little Woolton ward was created to represent the historic township of Little Woolton, which was originally part of Lancashire 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.
Geography Little Woolton ward was located in the southeastern part of Liverpool, bordering Woolton, Gateacre, and Halewood. It was known for its open spaces, farmland, and village-like atmosphere, in contrast to the more urbanized districts of Liverpool.
Legacy 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.
