Discover Cambridge Ontario

I grew up in Toronto Ontario Canada and after I moved to Tennessee I still went back to visit about once a year.  A few years ago my family moved to Cambridge Ontario which is a small town about an hour west of Toronto. Cambridge was a bit of an adjustment as it is a small town  with a population of only 120,000 people while the Greater Toronto area  has a population of  5.5 million people.

Cambridge Ontario became a city in 1973,when the City of Galt,Towns of Preston and Hespeler,and the hamlet of Blair were joined together.  It is a quaint area full of historic charm,natural beauty and all the convenience of a modern growing city.

For me the main attraction in Cambridge is my family but I love to visit this unique city and photograph the beautiful buildings and Churches as well as the Speed river and Grand river that flows thru the city.  This is a great city to take a photo walking tour especially the areas of Hespeler and Galt around the river.  Here are a few of the photos I have taken of this beautiful city of Cambridge Ontario.

There is history and interesting things to be seen and photographed no matter where you visit so get out there and discover.

If you are interested in the area of Cambridge and it’s history check out this book about the early settlers of Waterloo County made up of the linked cities of Kitchener,Waterloo,and Cambridge.
This photographic history of the region contains 130 black and white images from as early as 1880,recording the cultural landscape,the buildings,parks,markets,fairs,and parades.
