 | | Bootle was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1868 under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, and was granted the status of a county borough by the Local Government Act 1888 in 1889, becoming independent from the administrative county of Lancashire. |
 | | The docks made Bootle a target for German bombers during the Liverpool Blitz and approximately 90% of the houses in the town were damaged. |
 | | A combined Liverpool and Bootle Constabulary was formed in 1967 but in 1974, when county boroughs were abolished, Bootle combined with towns further up the coast to form the metropolitan borough of Sefton, rather than be annexed by Liverpool, as had been suggested, for example by the Redcliffe-Maud Report. |
