History
The historical Waterloo Inn was prominently situated at the intersection of Saint Kilda Road and Port Wakefield Rd,[2] the Inn was also near site of the now demolished Elim Chapel and cemetery.[3]. According to sources the area may have been named after the battle of waterloo.[4] This area's later urbanization can be traced back to the planning and establishment carried out in the year 1960 by Southern Estates Ltd who further developed the area on part sections 5028.[5]
