Waterloo
Founded in 1879 by Bernard McCormick,
but it lasted only a few years. The McCormicks left in May 1881
to go back to Waterloo, Iowa, and even though a valiant effort
was made by Captain Hey to keep the town going, it was abandoned
in the late 1880's.
The ethnicity of its settlers is unknown.
