Cambridge Rich in History and County Loyalties Through Time
Cambridge was founded in 1772 within Albany County after a series of town patents and border changes. Residents contested county allegiance, favoring Rensselaer County, while Vermont aspirations influenced local politics in 1781 1782. The town was divided in 1816 into Cambridge White Creek and Dickson, with a noted 1873 centennial and 1918 Old Home Week. Today the village sits near the state line, with forgotten-town sentiment lingering. The old settlement had a 1790 population of 4 995 with 45 slaves, later 6 108 in 1880 and 5 921 in 1910, powered by early Scotch Presbyterian and English settlers, plus North Ireland migrants in 1850. The Northern Turnpike Co began in 1708.
