Waterloo is named after the 1815 Battle of Waterloo and developed in the 1820s as an industrial hub with mills such as the Fisher and Duncan Paper Mill and the Waterloo Flour Mill. The area later became known for a large housing commission estate and has undergone recent gentrification and heritage‑sensitive redevelopment.
