Waterloo progress and Cedar Valley rail hopes rise
A panoramic 1860s Waterloo sketch highlights rapid growth, public improvements, new schools, expanded hotels, and thriving business. It notes water power, shrubbery, street paving, and a booming housing boom with over 100 new dwellings and $200,000 spent by year’s end. Rail prospects push toward South and East, including connections via North Missouri and Cedar Valley lines, with Waterloo as a gateway to Cedar Rapids and St. Louis markets.
