Kitchener Centre, on

Berlin became the seat of the newly-formed Waterloo County in 1853. The city’s name changed to Kitchener in 1916 amidst increased anti-German sentiment during the First World War.

Mount Hope Cemetery has records dating as far back to the late 1700s. Mount Hope is actually two cemeteries. The original Mount Hope, once known as Greenbush Cemetery, was Protestant, and the other Mount Hope was Roman Catholic. An 1855 map of the area show that the original Mount Hope Cemetery was on land that is now home to the nearby Grand River Hospital.
