DescriptionThe Liberal Party was organized as a workingman's party in New York State when the older American Labor Party began to take a more socialist flavor than earlier. After the demise of the ALP in the early 1950s, the Liberal Party played the role of evaluating the nominees of the two major parties and either endorsing one or nominating someone else. The Party lost its ballot status following the 2002 elections.

In early 2024, the Association of Liberty State Parties, representing former Libertarian Party affiliates who had disaffiliated from the national party, announced formation of a new national classical liberal force under the name Liberal Party USA.
