Waterloo was founded in 1845 when George Melrose and his family settled by the banks of the Cedar River. At that time, the settlement was called Prairie Rapids Crossing. When the town wanted a post office, the person charged with the paperwork, Charles Mullan, had to provide a name with the petition.
