[edit] History

This area was occupied by Irish political prisoners transported after the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Land grants of 40 acres were made to transportees in 1809 and for some time it was known as Irish Town. John Hawley Stroud, the superintendent of Liverpool Orphans School, received a grant in 1804 on the present site of Warwick Farm Racecourse and named his property after Warwick in England.^[1]
