About Waterloo, Illinois

Waterloo is a city in and county seat of Monroe County, Illinois, United States. Waterloo's history dates back to the 18th century, with the French being the first Europeans to settle in the area. The site was ideal because of its elevation; the proximity of the Mississippi River Valley brought frequent flooding to the lowlands. (Wikipedia)
