Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is the smallest of the three cities in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, and is adjacent to the larger city of Kitchener. Kitchener and Waterloo are often jointly referred to as Kitchener-Waterloo (K-W), or the twin cities, although they have separate municipal governments. There have been several attempts to amalgamate the two cities (sometimes with the city of Cambridge as well), but none has been successful. The reported population for the city can vary widely depending on how temporary residents at Waterloo's two universities are counted. At the time of the 2006 census [2], Waterloo had a population of 97,475. That number does not include post-secondary students who are temporary residents. The city's total population at the end of 2005?”with over 20,000 non-resident post-secondary students included?”was 113,100.[3] Area residents pronounce Waterloo with the stress on the last syllable (water-LOO). The Intelligent Community Forum named Waterloo one of the world's Top Seven Intelligent Communities of 2006 and the world?™s Top Intelligent Community 2007 History The land on which Waterloo would later be built was part of a parcel of 675,000 acres (2,730 km²) assigned in 1784 to the Iroquois alliance that made up the League of Six Nations. Almost immediately?”and with much controversy?”the native groups began to sell some of this land. Between 1796 and 1798, 93,000 acres (380 km²) were sold through a Crown Grant to Richard Beasley, with the Six Nations Indians continuing to hold the mortgage on the lands. The first wave of immigrants to the area were Mennonites from Pennsylvania. They bought deeds to land parcels from Beasley and began moving into the area in 1804. The following year, a group of 26 Mennonites pooled resources to purchase all of the unsold land from Beasley and discharge the mortgage held by the Six Nations Indians. The Mennonites divided the land into smaller lots, and two lots initially owned by Abraham Erb would become the central core of Waterloo. Erb is often called the founder of Waterloo, as it was his sawmill (1808) and grist mill (1816) that became the focal point of the area. In 1816 the new township was named Waterloo after the site of the battle in the previous year which had ended the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. After that war, the area became a popular destination for German immigrants. By the 1840s, the German settlers had overtaken the Mennonites as the dominant segment of the population. Many Germans settled in the small hamlet to the southeast of Waterloo. In their honour, the village was named Berlin in 1833 (renamed Kitchener in 1916). Berlin was chosen as the site of the seat for the County of Waterloo in 1853. Waterloo was incorporated as a village in 1857 and became the Town of Waterloo in 1876 and the City of Waterloo in 1948. Geography King Street South is the heart of Uptown Waterloo.Waterloo's city centre is located near the intersection of King and Erb streets. Since 1961, the centrepiece has been the Waterloo Town Square shopping centre, which underwent a thorough renovation in 2006. Much of the mall was torn down and has been replaced by buildings that emphasize street-facing storefronts. Residents refer to the Waterloo city centre as "uptown" (often capitalized), while "downtown" is reserved for the Kitchener city centre. Historically, the city centre was once along Albert Street, near the Marsland Centre and the Waterloo Public Library. The town hall, fire hall, and farmers market were located there. Amidst some controversy, all were demolished between 1965 and 1969. There are five main parks in the city. RIM Park occupies 2 square kilometres (500 acres) and is home to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor sporting facilities, including an eighteen-hole golf course, and the heritage Martin Farm House. Waterloo Park is in uptown Waterloo, and contains historical buildings, a bandshell, animal displays, and the Lions Lagoon water park in its 45 hectares (111 acres). It is also known for its light displays during the christmas holiday season. Bechtel Park occupies 44 hectares (109 acres) and has many outdoor sporting facilities (including soccer fields and baseball diamonds) along with wetlands, meadows and hardwood forest. The park also includes a very large off-leash dog park. Hillside Park covers 25 hectares (62 acres) and includes two lighted ball diamonds. Lexington Park includes a ball diamond and a soccer pitch on the former site of the K-W Municipal Airport. The 3 square kilometre (725 acre) Laurel Creek Conservation Area lies in the northwest of the city. The Grand River, which is popular with canoeists, flows southward along the east side of the city. In the west end of the city, the Waterloo Moraine provides over 300,000 people in the region with drinking water. Hospitals in Waterloo that accept floral arrangements
