Situated directly north of the town/city of Boston, athwart the Charles River, it was titled in honor of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, an meaningful center of the Puritan theology embraced by the town's founders.:18 Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), two of the world's most prestigious universities, are positioned in Cambridge, as was Radcliffe College, one of the dominant universities for women in the United States until it consolidated with Harvard.
According to the 2010 Census, the city's populace was 105,162. As of July 2014, it was the fifth most crowded city in the state, behind Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Lowell. Cambridge was one of the two seats of Middlesex County before to the abolition of county government in 1997; Lowell was the other.
Kendall Square in Cambridge has been called "the most innovative square mile on the planet", in reference to the high concentration of entrepreneurial start-ups and character of innovation which have emerged in the vicinity of the square since 2010. See also: Timeline of Cambridge, Massachusetts Map showing the initial boundaries of Cambridge and other Massachusetts metros/cities and suburbs The site for what would turn into Cambridge was chosen in December 1630, because it was positioned safely upriver from Boston Harbor, which made it easily defensible from attacks by enemy ships.
The settlement was initially referred to as "the newe towne". Official Massachusetts records show the name capitalized as Newe Towne by 1632 and a single word Newtowne by 1638. Located at the first convenient Charles River crossing west of Boston, Newe Towne was one of a number of suburbs (including Boston, Dorchester, Watertown, and Weymouth), established by the 700 initial Puritan colonists of the Massachusetts Bay Colony under governor John Winthrop.
The town encompassed a much larger region than the present city, with various outlying parts becoming autonomous suburbs over the years: Cambridge Village (later Newtown and now Newton) in 1688, Cambridge Farms (now Lexington) in 1712 or 1713, and Little or South Cambridge (now Brighton) and Menotomy or West Cambridge (now Arlington) in 1807. In the late 19th century, various schemes for annexing Cambridge itself to the town/city of Boston were pursued and rejected. In May 1638 the name of the settlement was changed to Cambridge with respect to the college in Cambridge, England. Hooker and Shepard, Newtowne's ministers, and the college's first president, primary benefactor, and first schoolmaster were all Cambridge alumni, as was the colony's governor John Winthrop.
In 1629, Winthrop had led the signing of the beginning document of the town/city of Boston, which was known as the Cambridge Agreement, after the university. It was Governor Thomas Dudley who, in 1650, signed the charter creating the corporation which still governs Harvard College. George Washington in Cambridge, 1775 Cambridge interval slowly as an agricultural village eight miles (13 km) by road from Boston, the capital of the colony.
Coming up from Virginia, George Washington took command of the volunteer American soldiers camped on Cambridge Common on July 3, 1775, now reckoned the place of birth of the U.S.
Between 1790 and 1840, Cambridge began to expanded rapidly, with the assembly of the West Boston Bridge in 1792, that connected Cambridge directly to Boston, making it no longer necessary to travel eight miles (13 km) through the Boston Neck, Roxbury, and Brookline to cross the Charles River.
In the mid-19th century, Cambridge was the center of a literary revolution when it gave the nation a new identity through poetry and literature.
Soon after, turnpikes were built: the Cambridge and Concord Turnpike (today's Broadway and Concord Ave.), the Middlesex Turnpike (Hampshire St.
Northwest of Porter Square), and what are today's Cambridge, Main, and Harvard Streets were roads to connect several regions of Cambridge to the bridges.

Cambridge was incorporated as a town/city in 1846. This was despite substantial tensions between East Cambridge, Cambridgeport, and Old Cambridge that stemmed from differences in each area's culture, sources of income, and the nationwide origins of the residents. The city's commercial center began to shift from Harvard Square to Central Square, which became the downtown of the town/city around this time.
Between 1850 and 1900, Cambridge took on much of its present character streetcar suburban evolution along the turnpikes, with working-class and industrialized neighborhoods concentrated on East Cambridge, comfortable middle-class housing being assembled on old estates in Cambridgeport and Mid-Cambridge, and upper-class enclaves near Harvard University and on the minor hills of the city.
The coming of the barns to North Cambridge and Northwest Cambridge then led to three primary shifts in the city: the evolution of massive brickyards and brickworks between Massachusetts Ave., Concord Ave.

In the 2010s, only the Cambridge Brands subsidiary of Tootsie Roll Industries remains in town, still manufacturing Junior Mints in the old Welch factory on Main Street. The Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Company (1886) and the Kendall Boiler and Tank Company (1880, now in Chelmsford, Massachusetts) and the New England Glass Company (1818 1878) were among the industrialized manufacturers in what are now the Kendall Square and East Cambridge neighborhoods.
