Liberty City first began when the Dutch sent out English explorer [[Horatio Humboldt]] to find a new location for them to sell [[Drugs|Marijuana]] in 1609 and he sailed to the Humboldt river. The Dutch became a colony and soon Europeans traveled to 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 which 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 Duky because the people smelled like excrement. Alderney 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 for Dutch word. | Liberty City first began when the Dutch sent out English explorer [[Horatio Humboldt]] to find a new location for them to sell [[Drugs|Marijuana]] in 1609 and he sailed to the Humboldt river.

Crime is life in | Crime is life in Liberty City, most likely brought about by the large number of gangs in Liberty, each fighting for control of the city and will use any means possible. [[The Commission]] is an Italian-American Mafia association of all the major gangs in the city, including the Five Families are the [[Ancelotti Family]], the [[Pavano Family]], [[Gambetti Family]], the [[Messina Family]] and the [[Lupisella Family]]. Towards the end of GTA IV, the [[Pegorino Family]] are trying to gain a place in The Commission. There are other major crime organizations such as the [[Irish American Killers|Irish]], and the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]]. There are, of course, many ethnic street gangs in Liberty City as well, such as the [[North Holland Hustlers]], the [[Dominican Drug Cartel|Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers]], and the [[Spanish Lords]]. | ||

Every street in the new Liberty City has a name. All the streets on each island mean something. For example, most streets in Broker are named after famous cowboys; streets in Dukes are named after patriotic events, and streets in Algonquin are named after U.S. State Capitals. | Every street in the new Liberty City has a name.
