ABOUT CAMBRIDGE

The city of Cambridge was formed in 1973 formed by the amalgamation of the city of Galt, the Towns of Hespeler and Preston and parts of the Townships of Waterloo and North Dumfries. Cambridge is a picturesque community with a historic charm. Its industrial past is rooted in the textile industry with the Hespler Mill who ensured that, throughout the Depression, at least one member of every family was employed at the mill.

Today, Cambridge’s industry is a result of its key location in the heart of the “Technology Triangle” with convenient access to major highways and several universities nearby. With a strong skilled labour force, Cambridge boasts a highly diversified economy.

HIGHLIGHTS
