Answer:
Several comments refer to the liter as “formerly” 1 kg of water at 4 °C. Actually, the original French definition was 1 cubic decimeter. From 1904 to 1964, a mere 60 years of its 223 year life, it was defined as exactly 1 kg H2O at 4 °C. That decision was abrogated in 1964.
Howard is right about the comma in “1,000” but I know 1 L = 1000 cm³, “cause the SI Brochure tells me so.” Quote follows (from Table 6 in Section 4)
1 L = 1 l = 1 dm³ = 10³ cm³ = 10^−3 m³
This expresses very succinctly that either capital or lowercase L may be used as the symbol and it is equal to 1 cubic decimeter, 1000 cubic centimeters or one-thousandth of a cubic meter. Since the SI Brochure defines the SI and declares equality, it can’t be unequal, by definition.
Take a cubical container of side 10 cm
Fill this with full of water
Now you will be find that this will contain 1 L
So Volume = 1L = (10 cm) ^3
Similarly you can prove that 1m^3 = 1000L
