Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Historical references

Cette appellation fait référence à la Bataille de Waterloo, c'est pour cela qu'elle reliait auparavant la Chaussée de Wavre, à la place de la Belle-Alliance (aujourd'hui Paul Janson) et en passant à proximité de la place Mont-Saint-Jean (actuellement Herman Dumont).
