WHEN IT WAS ORGANIZED.

     While the territory which composes the township of Waterloo was not organized into a separate township until March, 1826, it was one of the early portions settled by the pioneers of those days.  Its first settlement dates back just one score of years before it received its memorable name, a name which holds a prominent place in English history, and which a few of her sons, although transplanted to American soil, still remember with a glowing pride.  Thus when her people asked for a separate local government, this name was chosen, and her people in the battle of life have shown the heroic courage of those who fought and won upon its memorable but blood stained field.
