A post office operated here from 1898 to 1915.[2] Originally called Cabbage Patch in 1852, the name changed to Waldo upon the opening of the post office.[2] The name honors William Waldo, an early settler.[2] Other sources, however, state the name honors Waldo Johnson, a prominent attorney of Marysville.[3]
