History
Medieval
Huyton first settled around 600-650 AD by Angles. The settlement was erected on a low hill surrounded by inaccessible swamplands. The first part of the name might suggest a landing place, perhaps on the banks of the Alt River.
Both Huyton and Roby are mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, Huyton is being spelled Hitune .
Industry development
Huyton-with-Roby is located near the southwestern tip of the former Lancashire coal field. In the 19th century, Welsh workers settled in the area to work in adjacent venues. The Welsh non-conformist chapel (Calvinistic Methodists) was founded in Wood Lane, Huyton Quarry. The nearest Cronton Colliery finally ceased production in March 1984, shortly before the British miners' strike (1984-1985). Both Huyton and Roby have stations in Liverpool and Manchester Railway (another station, Huyton Quarry, closed in 1958). The railroad construction was supervised by George Stephenson and, when opened in 1830, it became the first regular passenger train service in the world. On the official opening day of the train, Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington got off the train at Roby station.
Second World War
During the Second World War, Huyton suffered the bombing of the Luftwaffe. Some Huyton residents are killed or injured but the scale of destruction is much less than that experienced by Liverpool, Bootle and Birkenhead. Unlike Liverpool, schoolchildren were not evacuated from Huyton but schools and homes were provided with air raid shelters.
Huyton also hosts three war camps: an internment camp, a prisoner of war camp and a base for American soldiers.
The internment camp, one of the largest in the country, was created to accommodate 'foreign enemies' perceived as a potential threat to national security. Churchill's request to 'override' meant that some 27,000 people were eventually interned in Britain. Some of the internees were actually Nazi refugees, including socialists such as Kurt Hager and a large number of artists who were attacked for their 'deterioration' in a famous Nazi art exhibition in 1937 (see Art Declines). Huyton internees include artists Martin Bloch, Hugo Dachinger, and Walter Nessler, dancer Kurt Jooss, musician, sociologist Norbert Elias, anthropologist Eric Wolf and composer Hans GÃÆ'¡l. More than 40 percent of Huyton's interns are over 50 years old.
The camp, first occupied in May 1940, was formed around several streets in empty houses and new empty flats and was then made safe with high barbed wire fences. Twelve internees are allocated to every home, but density causes many people to sleep in tents. Originally the camp was only meant to hold the internees until they could be sent to the Isle of Man. However, largely in response to the torpedo of the transport ship 'The Arandora Star', with the loss of nearly 700 lives, its deportation is over. Most of the internees were freed long before the camp closed in 1942. The camp was located within and around what is known as the 'Bluebell Estate' and many of the streets were given the names of the great battles of the Second World War.
Prisoners of war camps closed in 1948. Many of the inmates 'went natives', living in England and marrying local women. Among them in the Huyton camp was Bert Trautmann who later became the 1950s goalkeeper for Manchester City. From 1944, American soldiers were temporarily stationed at Huyton. The older Huyton residents still remember the tension between black and white G.I that produced a night known as 'shoot at Eagle and Child' (a local public house).
Recent events
Huyton brought to the national attention in 2005 after the murder of motivated teenage black race Anthony Walker at McGoldrick Park. Two young local white men were later found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. They are 17-year-old Michael Barton (brother of soccer player Joey Barton) and Paul Taylor is 20 years old.
In July 2008, an 18-year-old man, Michael Causer was beaten to death in a homophobic attack on a house in Huyton.

Government
In 1894, the township was included in Huyton with Roby Urban District. "Since the First World War, Huyton-with-Roby has been transformed into a residential area in Liverpool, while agriculture, once a major occupation in the area, is almost gone". In 1932, the Liverpool City Council bought a large real estate area of ​​the Earl of Derby Knowsley. After that, during the 1930s, the city built four large housing estates in northwestern Huyton-with-Roby. This residential 'overspill' housing Liverpool is Fincham, Huyton Farm, Longview and Woolfall Heath. Other smaller developments are assigned by the city district council or privately assigned. In 1950 the population was over 55,000, most of whom moved to the area from the city of Liverpool.
After the Second World War, the district succeeded against absorption within the boundaries of Liverpool City Council. However, his own application to borough status failed in 1952. On April 1, 1974, Huyton-with-Roby became part of Knowsley's new metropolitan area.
By convention, Huyton-with-Roby contains Huyton Park, Roby, Longview, Huyton Quarry, Page Moss, Woolfall Heath, Bowring Park, Fincham, and Court Hey. Today the area is divided into seven local government wards: Longview, Moss, Roby, St. Bartholomew's, St. Gabriel's, St. Michael's, and Swanside.

Huyton, Huyton, two dog fighting/One is a blackin and the other is whitin
