Homesteading in Kingman County
Waterloo began as a way-station where
two trails met. A small village was beginning to develop in 1879
and a plat was filed on July 7. The post office was had been named
Stanford since its establishment on March 5, 1878, was changed
to Waterloo in 1881.
Waterloo never became a railroad town
as it had been hoped for because the railroad went through Murdock
about five miles south.
The ethnicity of its settlers is unknown.
