WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE, MAGEOGRAPHYLocated in Eastern Massachusetts in Middlesex County, Cambridge is bordered by Boston on the east and south, Watertown and Belmont on the west, and Somerville and Arlington on the north. Cambridge is two miles west of Boston. Major routes include State Routes 2, 2 A, 16 and 38 and U.S. Route 3. The Mass Turnpike runs just south of Cambridge and is easily accessible. ABOUT THE CITY The city is home to internationally known Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and over one-fourth of all its residents are college students, while one-sixth of all its jobs are in higher education. Residents feel it is far more than a college town. It has long been an industrial innovator, producing America's first factories for ladders, piano keys and waterproof hats. Today, former factory buildings, which once turned out soap or socks, house cutting edge firms in biotechnology, computer software and other emerging technologies. Close to one-third of Massachusetts' biomedical employers are found in Cambridge. Cambridge is rich in demographic diversity. More than one in five residents is foreign born. Students from 64 nations attend the public schools, and their families speak 46 different languages. The continued vitality of its immigrants and entrepreneurs, students and street musicians, factory workers and professionals gives Cambridge its unique flavor.
