Initially, Waterloo County was seen as a temporary refuge for the overflow of Russian Mennonites heading west. Between 600 and 700 Russian Mennonites settled in Waterloo County in 1924 and 1925, many of them finding factory work in the towns when temporary work on the farms was exhausted. A map based on the immigration lists of 1924 shows the distribution of Russian Mennonite immigrants in Waterloo County, and another shows the Mennonite settlements of southern Ukraine.}, year = {1974}, edition = {B.A.}, number = {Dissertation/Thesis}, pages = {56 p. maps, bibl.+}, publisher = {Wilfrid Laurier University (Department of History)}, language = {English}, }
