History
Liverpool Landing was a woodyard landing for fueling the steamboats of George Alonzo Johnson's Colorado Steam Navigation Company of steamboats of the Colorado River. It was located 242 miles upriver from Yuma, Arizona, and 22 miles upriver from Aubrey Landing. It was 2 miles up and across the river from Chimehuevis Landing another woodyard and 58 miles below Fort Mohave the next woodyard.
The local indigenous Mohave people supplied the wood to the landing.
