When the three municipalities of Galt, Preston, Hespeler and the settlement of Blair amalgamated in 1973 to what we now call Cambridge, each of these communities brought with it a proud history. This city is now so fortunate to have three historically scenic downtown core areas for its residents to enjoy. Discover all there is to see and do in this bustling community!
