ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(06-15-2015, 11:13 AM)tmccnnll Wrote: The name Waterloo Town Square seems to be a shortened reference to The Shops at Waterloo Town Square.

"The Shops at" part of the name is relatively recent, since the mid-2000s rebuild.

The mall opened in 1961 as "Waterloo Square", judging by the quote on this page: In Waterloo Square, this city has one of the most modern downtown shopping malls in the province."
It likely wasn't that long before "Town" got inserted in. (Or maybe that Waterloo Chronicle employee just colloquially dropped it.)
