Homesteading
in Kingman County
Waterloo
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.
