Cambridge, Vermont

Cambridge is a town in Lamoille County, Vermont, United States.

Granted on November 7, 1780, Cambridge was chartered on August 13, 1781, to Samuel Robinson, John Fassett Jr., Jonathan Frost and 64 others.

Industries included one woolen factory, one tannery, and one gristmill, plus several sawmills and cabinet shops.

[7] Cambridge and neighboring Johnson were together known as the King's College Tract, being created by Lieutenant Governor Cadwallader Colden by authority of King George III in 1764.

The King's College Tract was reserved for the eventual establishment of a university on the site.

[1] Cambridge is drained by the Lamoille River, which flows from east to west across the center of the town, passing through the north sides of Jeffersonville and Cambridge villages.

Two main tributaries of the Lamoille drain the southern part of the town: the Brewster River originates in Smugglers Notch at the crest of the Green Mountains in the southernmost part of the town and flows north to Jeffersonville, while the Seymour River originates in Underhill and flows north to Cambridge village.

20.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
