Everton is a district in Liverpool, in Merseyside, England, and a Liverpool City Council ward. Historically in Lancashire, at the 2001 Census the population was recorded as 7,398, increasing to 14,782 at the 2011 Census.
The name Everton is derived from the Saxon word eofor, meaning "wild boar that lives in forests".
Everton is an inner city area located just north of Liverpool city centre, with Vauxhall to the west, Kirkdale to the north and Anfield to the north east. The Liverpool entrance to the Kingsway Tunnel is located near the boundaries of this area. Everton consists of generally more modern terraced homes and is statistically one of the most deprived areas of the city. Urban clearance during the 1960s and 1970s, followed by the creation of Everton Park, changed the face of the area and some parts have never recovered. The population has plummeted by over 100,000 since the 1960s and Everton Park has replaced the densely packed streets with fields and trees. The landscape of Everton is now mainly non urban with the loss of so many people and many hundreds of buildings
Project Jennifer" is a scheme to breathe new life into rundown parts of Everton centred on Great Homer Street including a revamped ' Greaty' market. However the project has suffered numerous delays and setbacks. The NSPCC Hargreaves Centre (named after locally born benefactor John Hargreaves) was opened in May 2007 on the site of the former indoor market.
