Skyline of Liberty
Liberty City is a major city that has been featured in at least 6 games across all three Grand Theft Auto universes. The most recent and accurate iteration being the Liberty City of the HD Universe (this page), featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodic content, as well as the stand-alone Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars title.
Liberty City was first began when the Dutch sent out English explorer Horatio Humboldt to find a new location for them to sell Marijuana in 1609, and he sailed to the Humboldt river. The Dutch became a colony and soon Europeans traveled to the city to find what freedom was truly like in the colony of New Rotterdam, which promised convenience stores and public hangings, as well as a slave trade craze that swept the colony ever 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 conceived by a milk maid and the other Dukes, after the term Duke because the people smelled like excrement. Alderney (which would go on to become a separate state) 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. The British and the Americans fought in what was to be known as the American Revolution for freedom from taxes, and after receiving 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. (From History of Liberty City TV show GTA IV) in 2008 the city population is 8,363,710 and the city is a melting pot of cultures then. Liberty City is a City of islands and is made up of 4 boroughs unlike real life New York City which has 5 boroughs: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx which it was based off of, Algonquin (Manhattan), Broker (Brooklyn), Dukes (Queens), and Bohan (The Bronx) except Staten Island. The main airport is Francis International Airport. Liberty has a subway and is well connected with highways like Plumbers sky way and more. Liberty City is connected to the State of Alderney, based on the state of New Jersey.
