Liverpool is a borough located in the northeastern corner of Perry County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Located beside the Susquehanna River in eastern Perry County, the community was surveyed by John Huggins and plotted by Peter Williamson that year, and originally was made up of the land located between present-day North Alley to Strawberry Street.
