Cambridge

Cambridge lies along the Grand River in southwestern Ontario, where the Speed River joins it amid wooded riverbanks and former mill settlements. Created in 1973 through the amalgamation of Galt, Preston and Hespeler, Cambridge retains several distinct historic centres rather than a single uniform downtown. Galt’s core follows the Grand and includes many 19th-century limestone commercial and civic buildings, while the University of Waterloo School of Architecture occupies the restored Riverside Silk Mill. Trails beside the Grand River link parks and neighbourhoods, and the city’s position in Waterloo Region places it within one of Ontario’s established manufacturing and technology corridors.
