Kitchener (only) was named Berlin from 1854 until it was changed in a sketchy referendum held in 1916. The original settler name was "Sand Hills" and later it became "Ebytown", after the founder, Benjamin Eby. The good burghers of Waterloo would never accept "Berlin" as the name of the merged municipality.
