St. Domingo ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council between 1895 and 1972. It was within the Everton district of Liverpool.

Background[edit]

The ward was first formed in 1895 and was merged with Breckfield ward in 1973.

1895 boundaries[edit]

Liverpool City Council ward boundaries, which extended the area of the city and increased the number of wards from 16 to 28 were made prior to the 1895 election. St. Domingo was one of the newly created wards and was numbered as ward 23.

The Ward was within the Liverpool Kirkdale constituency from 1918 to 1950, and from 1950 to 1973 was within Liverpool Scotland.[1]

1953 boundaries[edit]

Liverpool City Council ward boundaries were changed prior to the 1953 election; St. Domingo ward was largely unchanged.

1973 election[edit]

Following the Local Government Act 1972 the ward boundaries of the council were altered. The number of wards was reduced from 40 to 33 and the aldermanic system was abolished. St. Domingo ward was merged with Breckfield ward to form Breckfield St. Domingo ward.[2]
