About Cambridge, Maryland

Cambridge is a city of 13,096 people and the seat of Dorchester County, on the south bank of the Choptank River. The Choptank Indians, who spoke an Algonquian language, lived along that river when English colonists settled here in 1684. Eastern Shore planters grew tobacco at first and later turned to mixed farming, and the busy town pier made Cambridge a trading center for the region.

Cambridge was incorporated in 1793 on land that had been part of the Choptank Indian Reservation, and its name was borrowed from an English city and county of the same name. The town also became a stop on the Underground Railroad, whose safe houses sheltered enslaved people fleeing north.

  • Canning for two world warsIn the late 19th century Cambridge began canning oysters, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The Phillips Packing Company led that growth and became the region's biggest employer, helped by Department of Defense contracts in both world wars, and at its peak it had as many as 10,000 workers. Tastes changed, the company cut back, and by the early 1960s it had shut down, leaving many people out of work. Its Plant F joined the National Register in 2021.
  • The Cambridge movementFrom 1962 to 1967, Black residents of Cambridge protested for fair jobs and housing and for an end to segregated schools and public places. Gloria Richardson led the movement. Riots in 1963 and 1967 brought the Maryland National Guard into the city, and public segregation in Cambridge officially ended under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
  • The Shore's first daily paperLindsay C. Marshall and Armistead R. Michie started The Daily Banner in Cambridge, the first daily newspaper on the Eastern Shore, and printed its first issue on September 22, 1897. The paper carries on today as the weekly Dorchester Banner.
  • Boats for the ArmyDuring World War II, the Cambridge Shipbuilders yard turned out rescue boats for downed aircraft, crash boats and T-boats, along with freight and passenger vessels, all for the U.S. Army.
  • Bea Arthur's hometownBea Arthur grew up in Cambridge, where her parents ran a clothing store, and her classmates at Cambridge High School voted her wittiest girl. She went on to win Emmy and Tony awards and to star in Maude and The Golden Girls.
