The small, unincorporated settlement of Waterloo, California is named after the much larger town in Belgium and after the famous battlefield that sealed the fate of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815.

Waterloo, CA is so small that neither wikipedia nor any of the common city search sites took notice. However, it has been on the map since 1861 and at least Google Maps recognizes it.
