The building of the Liverpool-Southport railway in 1850 affected the whole coastal region. Liverpool merchants built their homes in Crosby, Formby, and Southport, and that coastal strip has remained a popular residential area. Southport also grew as a holiday resort in the 19th century, and today tourism is important to the Sefton economy. The Grand National steeplechase is run at the Aintree racecourse in the southeast of the borough. Crosby is the home of a boys’ school founded by the Merchant Taylors’ Company in 1620 and a girls’ school founded in 1888. The coastal dunes are used for golf courses such as Royal Birkdale at Southport. Area 59 square miles (153 square km). Pop. (2001) 282,958; (2011) 273,790.
