Cambridge, Industrial municipality in Ontario, Canada
Cambridge sits at the junction where the Grand River meets the Speed River in Waterloo Region. The municipality links residential and industrial areas along both riverbeds, with parks and walking trails that follow the water.
The city formed in 1973 when Galt, Preston, Hespeler, and Blair merged from separate communities into a single municipality. This fusion aimed to streamline administration and infrastructure and support growth across the region.
The architecture still reflects the Scottish and German settlers who made their home here during the 19th century. Brick facades and old mill buildings line the streets, recalling those early communities.
Several bus routes connect the different neighbourhoods, and the downtown area is easy to explore on foot. Riverside trails remain open year-round, with spring and autumn offering the most comfortable walking conditions.
The Toyota plant produces several hundred thousand vehicles each year and ranks among the most important automotive sites in the country. Thousands work on-site in production and logistics, giving the region a clear industrial focus.
