Waterloo

Waterloo is a major urban transport hub and lies on the main highway linking Freetown to the country's provinces. Waterloo is an entirely urban area, and lies 25 miles to Port Loko District entrance border line in the Northern Province.

Waterloo is one of Sierra Leone's most ethnically diverse cities, as it is home to many of Sierra Leone's ethnic groups, with no single ethnic group forming even 30% of the population .

Although Waterloo is part of the larger Western Area Rural district council, the city has its own directly elected city council headed by a mayor. The current mayor of Waterloo is Dennis Omojowo Browne of the All People's Congress who was elected in the 2018 Sierra Leone local elections.
