Is liverpool the unofficial capital of north wales? - Yahoo! Answers
Well the other answers obviously do not know their history.
I don't know who coined this phrase but it was common in the early part of the 20th century.
Why? As one previous answer pointed out, Liverpool had a large Welsh speaking population due to many Welsh people who came to live in the city, indeed it is widely claimed that much of the city was built by Welsh workers who settled in the city. The Beatle Ringo Starr was born in a group of streets in the Dingle known as the Welsh streets.
Liverpool was also the place where many North Walians came to shop, Thursday was known as Welsh day due to the special trains that would carry thousands from North Wales. Owen Owen, T J Hughes, and Lewis's where all department stores started in Liverpool by Welshmen which made a lot of money from this trade.
Finally the National Eisteddfod took place in Liverpool in 1884, 1900, and 1929 to recognise the importance Liverpool had to North Wales. Liverpool 08 tried to get the Eisteddfod to take place in Liverpool this year, but the organisers are very proud of their Welsh heritage and will not countenance it moving out of Wales again.
Because North Wales is remote from Cardiff and had no large city, unofficially Liverpool was regarded as the capital of North Wales
