== History of Liberty City ==

Liberty City first began when the Dutch sent out English explorer [[Horatio Humboldt]] to find a new location for them to sell [[Drugs|Marijuana]] in 1609 and he sailed to the Humboldt river. The Dutch became a colony and soon Europreans travelled to city to find what freedom was truly like in the colony of New Rotterdam which promised convenience stores and public hangings aswell as a slave trade craze which swept the colony every since the very first ship load of slaves. Eventually, the English set sail for the colony, which was based on the slender island named Algonquin after an old Indian word with the same pronunciation and the settlers signed a petition to be ruled by the British. Soon the English expanded the colonies by eradicating natives and took over three new islands for the colony. The first consisted of both Broker, named after the king's bastard son who was concieved by a milk maid and the other Dukes, after the term Duky because the people smelled like excrement. Alderney was named after a man called Phillip D'Alderney, the only man who could bear living in the swampy industrial island. The smallest island was named Bohan for the Dutch word for Dutch word.  

The British and the Americans fought in what was to be known as the American revolution for freedom from taxes, and after recieving a statue of a transvestite eating ice cream from the French, the Americans won and removed the Union Jack and melting the statue of King George into chains, toilet seats and gold teeth. Slavery was soon outlawed in Liberty City and women were forced to spend time under train tracks servicing men. The politicians of Liberty City moved to Washington DC when Liberty City's status as the capital of the nation was removed and given to DC. Frederick O' Fitzpatrick decided to head to the south and teach them a lesson after tensions risen and a civil war was on the horizon, but before doing so constructed Middle Park. Beyond the tranquility, people were tired of living in black and white and riots ensued, which didn't help with a civil war looming.  

==City Information==

As of 2008, the population of Liberty City is 8,363,710.  The current mayor is [[Julio Ochoa]] while the Deputy Mayor is [[Bryce Dawkins]].  [[Thomas Stubbs III]] is Liberty City's congressman. The time setting is apparently autumn 2008, evidenced by the color of the trees and ingame dialogue.

==Transportation==

The main form of transport throughout Liberty City is by road, there is a prominent [[Freeways in GTA IV|freeway]] in each borough, with two in Algonquin and another stretching from Broker to Dukes.  A [[Bridges in Liberty City in GTA IV|bridge]] connects each island to Algonquin, with two from Algonquin to Broker and another from Dukes to Bohan.

There is also an extensive [[Subway in GTA IV|subway]] system, connecting the many areas of Broker, Dukes, Bohan and Algonquin with two main routes.  One serves inner Algonquin and Bohan, the other serves outer Algonquin and Broker/Dukes.

Helicopters can be flown either by the player or by an NPC pilot when participating in Helitours, and Liberty City has an international airport named [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International]], though the aircraft are cannot be used by the player in the game.  Boats can also be used to travel between the islands.

==GTA Chinatown Wars==

*The game features only the 'real' Liberty City, meaning that Alderney was removed.

*The [[Subway in GTA IV|train system]] is not usable, as stations cannot be entered. However stations, tracks, and trains are still present<br clear="all" />
