About Cambridge

Cambridge is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, in the Greater Boston area. It was named in honor of the University of Cambridge in England, a nexus of the Puritan theology embraced by the town's founders. Notably, Cambridge is home to two internationally prominent universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As of 2008 the city population was 105,594. It is the fourth most populous city in the state, behind Boston, Worcester, and Springfield. Cambridge is one of the two county seats of Middlesex County (Lowell is the other).

Cambridge was ranked as one of the most liberal cities in America. Its residents jokingly refer to it as "The People's Republic of Cambridge." Its FY 2007 residential property tax rate, $7.48 per $1000 of assessed valuation, is one of the lowest in Massachusetts. Cambridge enjoys the highest possible bond credit rating, AAA, with all three Wall Street rating agencies.

Cambridge is noted for its diverse population, both racially and economically. Residents, known as Cantabrigians, range from affluent MIT and Harvard professors to working-class families to immigrants. The first legal applications in America for same-sex marriage licenses were issued at Cambridge's City Hall.

Cambridge is also the birthplace of Thai king Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), who is the world's longest reigning monarch at age 80 as well as the longest reigning monarch in Thai history. He is also the first king of a foreign country to be born in the United States.

Hi, Tasha. Welcome to the group. I had no idea that it had been a year since anyone posted on here. Do you go to the Annual Halloween Party? That's one of the few BYPA events I go to.

Nope, I grew up right next door in Arlington. But I love Cambridge and I'm happy to be here now!

I grew up on Washington St. near Central Square. And it wasn't a very good place then. Thankfully they fixed it up around 10 years ago. I live in Watertown now, but I love hanging out in Harvard Square in Cambridge. Did you grow up in Cambridge?

Hi Michael and welcome! I currently live in Central Square. It's a great place. Do you live there now or is that where you grew up, or both?

Hi, Everyone. I just joined this group. Apparently, I'm the 100th member. I was born and raised in Cambridge, but moved out in 1996 when I was 19. Anyone else grew up or currently live in the Central Square area?
