The Province of Ontario formed the City of Cambridge on January 1, 1973. The former communities of Galt, Preston, Hespeler, and Blair make up the current city of Cambridge. Though the history of the area dates back to a much earlier time. Today, Cambridge is a modern city with a rich architectural heritage still clearly seen today. Cambridge is now the second largest community within Waterloo Region. This is partly due to the strong economy and culture. In recognition of the past, the City maintains three unique downtown cores.
