Toxteth is an inner-city area of Liverpool. Toxteth is located to the south of Liverpool city centre, bordered by Aigburth, Canning and Edge Hill; the area was part of a royal park and known as Toxteth Park. It remained predominantly rural up until the 18th century. Toxteth was developed during this time and into the 19th century as a residential area to accommodate the increasing working class community centred on Liverpool following the Industrial Revolution; the Welsh Streets in Toxteth were constructed in the mid-19th century to accommodate this demand. Immigration continued into the 20th century, resulting in a significant number of ethnic minority communities in the area. Toxteth was badly hit by economic stagnation and unemployment in the late 1970s, culminating in riots in July 1981. Although attempts have been made to regenerate the area and improve living standards, significant problems with unemployment and crime remain into the 21st century. Many Victorian properties in the area continue to lay derelict awaiting redevelopment.

The district lies within the borders of the ancient township of Toxteth Park. Industry and commerce are confined to the docks on its western border and a few streets running off Parliament Street. Toxteth is residential, with a mixture of old terraced housing, post-World War II social housing and a legacy of large Victorian houses. In the 18th and 19th centuries, as Liverpool expanded the ancient park of Toxteth was urbanised. Large Georgian houses were built in the Canning area, followed in the Victorian era by more grand houses along the tree-lined Prince's Road/Avenue boulevard and around Prince's Park; the district became home to the wealthy merchants of Liverpool, alongside a much larger poor population in modest Victorian terraces. Now, some of these streets of terraces are boarded up. Two of the city's largest parks, Sefton Park and Princes Park, are located around Toxteth; the earlier Princes Park was laid out by Richard Vaughan Yates around 1840, intending it to be used as open space, funded by the grand houses to be constructed around its edge, as would happen with Sefton Park.

Sefton Park was created by the Corporation of Liverpool in 1872, inspired by Birkenhead Park, across the River Mersey. Sefton Park has a large glass Palm House, which contains a statue of William Rathbone V unveiled in 1887, had many other features including an aviary and an open-air theatre. There is some ambiguity as to the origin of the name. One theory is that the etymology is "Toki's landing-place". However, Toxteth is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, at this time, it appears as "Stochestede", i.e. "the stockaded or enclosed place", from the Anglo-Saxon stocc "stake" and Anglo-Saxon stede "place". Before the time of the Norman conquest, Toxteth was divided into two manors of equal size. One was owned by the other by Stainulf. After the conquest, part was granted by Count Roger of Poitou to the ancestor of the Earl of Sefton. From this time to about 1604, the land formed part of West Derby forest; the boundaries of the manor are described in the perambulation of 1228 as follows, "'Where Oskell's brook falls into the Mersey.

In 1327, Toxteth was granted to Earl of Lancaster. Over the years, various leases and grants were made and the park was owned by Adam, son of William de Liverpool, in 1338. In 1385, William de Liverpool had licence "to take two cartloads of gorse weekly from the park for 12d. A year rent." In 1383 a grant was made to William Bolton and Robert Baxter, in 1394 the lease was resigned and handed over to Richard de Molyneux. The park came into the hands of Sir Thomas Stanley in 1447; the parkland descended within the Stanley family until 1596, when it was sold by William Stanley, Earl of Derby, to Edmund Smolte and Edward Aspinwall. In 1604, the Earl sold it to Richard Molyneux of Sefton at a cost of £1,100; the estate descended from this time until 1972 with the death of the 7th Earl. The ancient township of Toxteth contains the village of Smithdown, it stretches over an area of three miles along the River Mersey and two miles inland, the highest point being on the corner of Smithdown Lane and Lodge Lane.

A brook ran from the northern end of the area, near the boundary of Parliament Street, where it was used to power a water wheel before it ran into the river. Along the river are two creeks. At some time in history the creeks were filled in; the Dingle is now in the area where the old northern creek was situated, St Michael's Hamlet is situated around the southern creek. Outside the southern boundary of the area lies the creek known as Otterspool, which formed the boundary between Wavertree and West Derby; the major road through the area was Park Lane, now Park Road. The road ran from the Coffee House, which stood near Fairview Place, down towards the Dingle, the "Ancient Chapel of Toxteth". Toward the end of the 16th century, the royal park ceased to be and Puritan farmers from Bolton settled in the area. Setting up 25 farms on land outside Church of England control, which became Toxteth Village, these Dissenters worshipped at the "Ancient Chapel" on Park Road, now known as the Toxteth Unitarian Chapel (not to be confused with Ullet Road Unitarian Church
