Description		Cambridge is located in Cowley [CL] County on US-160.  The town is built on a beautiful site on a group of hills on the edge of a valley overlooking Cedar creek.  The paved county road leading north past the old school turns into a scenic drive that eventually gets you up to highway KS-96 in Butler County.
History		Cambridge was named for the university in England.  It had a school as early as 1888.
Places to Visit		The old school buildings in the north part of town are still maintained and used for comunity functions. There is a nice small old bank building on the south side of highway US 160 at the main corner; notice the handmade stone column. There's a well done mural called "The Count" on the east side of the Stockmans Cafe. Don't miss the old stone public toilets beside the highway.  Fine workmanship for a humble purpose.
