A City Founded on Heritage

Here's how our community came to be...

The City of Cambridge was formed when the City of Galt, the Town of Preston, the Town of Hespeler, and the Village of Blair were amalgamated in January 1973. To this day, community members still identify closely with their original municipalities. Residents play a key role in preserving our heritage as we progress into a unified and prosperous city. 

For our 50th Anniversary year, we honour the people, places, and stories that shaped Cambridge into this place we call home. Click below to learn more about the histories that make our community.
