{{quote|'''Liberty City, 1998''. '''To commemorate Liberty City´s 200th anniversary, we in The Liberty Tree´s cartography department have created a map of what our magnificent city looks like today. As we approach the new millenium there are surely great things in our future. Very soon the Office of Public Works will complete the bridges that join Portland and Staunton Island with the mainland. This is but one of many achievements we should celebrate at this moment in Liberty City´s grand history.''}} | {{quote|'''Liberty City, 1998''.

Liberty City was established in [[1798]], 22 years after the declaration of independence from [[United States]], being "a church, a cow pasture and three houses when the telephone was invented (1870, first experiments started)," according to [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] of [[Chatterbox FM]]. Over the subsequent history of Liberty City is almost no word in the series like, unlike the history of New York that was founded in 1624, this interpretation is founded 174 years later. | Liberty City was established in [[1798]], 22 years after the declaration of independence from [[United States]], being "a church, a cow pasture and three houses when the telephone was invented (1870, first experiments started)," according to [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] of [[Chatterbox FM]].

Liberty City is loosely based on [[wp:New York City|New York City]], but includes elements of other American cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, among others. The city area has a population of 4,000,000 people by 2001. Based on the official website, Liberty City's sister city is [[wp:Beirut|Beirut]], which may be a joke from the producers, considering Beirut has often experienced violence in the past, twinning it with Liberty City seeing how crime-ridden Liberty City is. | Liberty City is loosely based on [[wp:New York City|New York City]], but includes elements of other American cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, among others.
