The Liberal Party was one of the dominant political parties of the early 20th century. The major rival to the Conservative Party, the party ruled New Ingerland for two decade-long stretches in the 1900s and 1920s. After a period of decline during the Great Depression and the Second World War, and party enjoyed a resurgence in 1952, returning to major-party status.

In July 1959, the party merged with the Reform Party to form the modern Democratic Party.
