Cambria, A HarborTown History

This history of Cambria, the third in the HarborTown History series, is the only comprehensive and concise story of this lovely town. From its Mexican ranchos, brief years as a boom town, and dreams of wharves and railroads to its preeminence as a dairying center, Cambria's story is one of trial and triumph.

Spurred by hopes of becoming a quicksilver mining center and transportation hub, Cambria got, instead, a castle, a fascinating parade of solid, hardworking dairymen, and the isolation that, today, makes it such a charming retreat.
