==History==
{{Main|History of Manchester}}

The name Crumpsall derives from old English and means a "crooked piece of land beside a river".<ref name="MAN2002">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20160117020456/http://www.manchester2002-uk.com/districts/crumpsall.html Crumpsall: Districts and suburbs of Manchester]}} Retrieved on 08 September 2009</ref> It is first mentioned in 1291. In 1472, Crumpsall was held in [[socage]] by James Radcliffe subject to an annual rent of ten [[shilling]]s. It later passed to the family of [[Edward Coke]] who held it until 1789 when it was divided. One part was sold to [[Thomas Egerton, 1st Earl of Wilton]] and another, 188 acres, to William Marsden of Liverpool.  Marsden's portion was divided into three farms: Boardman's Tenement, Pendleton Tenement and Oldham's Tenement and a dyeworks known as Holland's Tenement. Oldham's Tenement, 45 acres, was sold to the Guardians of the Poor of Manchester in 1855 as a site for the new workhouse, later known as Springfield Hospital.  Pendleton Tenement was bought by the Delaunay family and later sold to the Prestwich [[Poor law union]] as the site for a workhouse.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hall|first1=Susan|last2=Perry|first2=D L|title=Crumpsall Hospital 1876–1976|date=1976|publisher=Upjohn & Bottomley|location=Littleborough|pages=3–5}}</ref>

Crumpsall was [[rural area|rural]] in character during the early part of the 19th century, however, the necessity to house Manchester's growing population of mill workers saw the area become more urbanised. Crumpsall was incorporated into the city of Manchester in 1890.<ref name="MAN2002"/>

Crumpsall Hall was the seat of the Chethams and subsequently passed to the Waklyns. The Manchester [[workhouse]] was built after the formation of the [[Poor Law Union]]s in 1837.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Crumpsall/ |title=Crumpsall |access-date=28 June 2010}}</ref>

The [[Co-operative Wholesale Society]] opened the Crumpsall Biscuit Works in Lower Crumpsall around 1873.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.co-op.ac.uk/our-heritage/national-co-operative-archive/collections/co-operative-wholesale-society/ |title=Co-operative Wholesale Society |access-date=28 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100627125015/http://www.co-op.ac.uk/our-heritage/national-co-operative-archive/collections/co-operative-wholesale-society/ |archive-date=27 June 2010 }}</ref>

Crumpsall is the location of [[North Manchester General Hospital]]. This was previously three hospitals: Crumpsall Hospital (a general hospital), Springfield Hospital (a psychiatric hospital) and Delaunay's Hospital (a geriatric hospital).

In January 2003 [[Murder of Stephen Oake|Detective Constable Stephen Oake]], a [[Greater Manchester Police]] officer, was fatally stabbed whilst arresting a suspected terrorist in a house on Crumpsall Lane.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2659569.stm|title=Suburb in shock over killing|work=BBC News|date=15 January 2003|access-date=13 February 2010|last=Harper|first=Smyth}}</ref>
