History:  

The old city of Cambridge was located a mile and one half south of the present city, platted in 1856 by John Owens, a St. Paul newspaperman, and R. F. Slaughter, a St. Paul real estate developer; Owens retired from the newspaper in 1857 and began farming in North Branch Township. The post office was established in 1856. The new Cambridge was started when Jedediah Kimball of Maine built a boardinghouse in 1859, and most of the townsite had moved there by 1869, the year voters selected Cambridge, rather than Old Isanti, for the county seat; it was incorporated as a village February 26, 1876. A number of businesses began, including a woolen mill, roller mills, and a starch factory, and when the Great Northern Railway came through in 1899, there was increased development.

Events:
Cambridge Antique Fair

Cambridge hosts over 800 antique dealers from all over the Mid-West making up about 300 dealer booths. The size of the show is just about right for a day-trek from many of the region's population centers and countryside. Many of the dealers that attend Cambridge do not set up in other shows in the area. lso, ours is an annual show, so you’re bound to see lots of antiques that you haven’t seen elsewhere. Items in all price ranges and collecting categories can be found. We do not allow dealers to sell flea market items such as T-shirts, Sun Glasses and New Tools.

First Weekend in August
