City Of Waterloo
About Us:
When Bradford Hill, who was traveling in his covered wagon, reached the pretty area, with the river running in a half circle, he decided he had met his Waterloo, and was the first settler in 1859! By special charter, it became the village of Waterloo, and consisted of one square mile in 1859. In 1861 the original Charter was amended to read four square miles, its present size. In April of 1962 it became the City of Waterloo.
Today the City of Waterloo has a solid base of industry and an excellent school system, including two Parochial Grade Schools.
We have one of the finest EMS and Volunteer Fire Departments in the State of Wisconsin.
In the fall of 1993 ground was broken for the Karl Junginger Memorial Library made possible by the generosity of Karl Junginger and Evelyn Kading Clark.
We are located nine miles from the Interstate Highway System for truck service and have a rail freight line. Our electrical utility features economical rates.
We have one of the finest parks in the State of Wisconsin. It features recreational facilities, playground equipment and the antique 1911 C.W. Parker Carousel, fully restored.

The City of Waterloo is the proud possessor of a 1911 C.W. Parker Antique Carousel, one of only 150 that are left in the United States. It was purchased from the Curtis Brothers Carnival in 1925, and has been running in beautiful Firemen's Park since that time.
It is housed in a typical dome-shaped building. Starting in 1987, it has been completely restored so that it is in mint condition. Very recently an antique Band Organ has been added to make it complete.
