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.
