KNOWLEDGE OF Waterloo
The City of Waterloo, Ontario is the smallest of the tri-cities in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, and is adjacent to the larger city of Kitchener.
It has a population of 86,543 according to the 2001 census.
Kitchener and Waterloo are often jointly referred to as Kitchener-Waterloo (K-W), or the twin cities, although they have separate municipal governments. There have been several attempts in the past to amalgamate the two cities, but none has been successful.
The City of Waterloo covers an area of 64.09 sq. kilometres.
Residents of the area pronounce Waterloo with the stress on the last syllable (water-LOO).
The City of Waterloo was named by the Intelligent Communities Forum as one of the Top Seven Intelligent Communities of 2006 in the world.
Waterloo was founded in 1804 by Mennonites from Pennsylvania, including Abraham Erb, considered to be the founder of Waterloo because the two lots of land he owned later made up the core area. In 1816, the new town was named Waterloo after the site of the famous battle in Europe the previous year. By the 1840s the area was a popular destination for German settlers. The Germans settled mostly in the area to the south-east of Waterloo, which in 1833 was called Berlin, later renamed to Kitchener in a controversial referendum conducted at the height of anti-German sentiment during the First World War.
