Cambridge Town

Learn about the history of town and its districts, schools and roads over the years.

Have you ever wondered what your street’s name means, or whom it was named after? Street names often fall into patterns. They may celebrate a royal connection (Queen Street), note early administrators (Vogel Street), celebrate local landmarks (Lake Street) or mark historic events (Achilles Road). More often than not, streets commemorate people, including famous writers, poets, essayists or dramatists, or local families or developers. Local or national politicians are also common.
