The city of Cambridge Ontario is located on the Grand River and Speed River in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario. The city was formed in 1973 when the city of Galt merged with the towns of Preston and Hespeler and parts of the townships of Waterloo and North Dumfries. The city's distinctive 19th century architecture offers a beautiful backdrop for shopping, dining & colourful festivals. Visitors will enjoy factory outlets, antique shops and farmers markets, a butterfly conservatory, and drive-through wildlife park. The highly developed trail system and access to the Grand River make for excellent canoeing, cycling, horseback riding and hiking.
