The major population centres were Waterloo, Kitchener (known as Berlin prior to 1916), Preston, Hespeler, Blair, and Doon in Waterloo township; Galt in North Dumfries; Elmira in Woolwich; and New Hamburg in Wilmot.
Its founding in 1853 caused some contentious debate between Galt and Berlin as to where the county seat would be located; one of the requirements for founding was the construction of a courthouse.
