The city was formed in 1973 by merging the municipalities of Galt, Preston, and Hespeler with parts of the townships of Waterloo and North Dumfries. Several of these communities' former mills were turned into factory outlets. Downtown Cambridge underwent a revitalization in the 1990s that included a new transit terminal.
