Is there a city of Cambridge in both the UK and the US

Both the United Kingdom and the United States have the city of Cambridge.

Cambridge is the capital of the English county of Cambridgeshire and the seat of the University of Cambridge, a place where the Romans camped and garrisoned their troops as early as 2,000 years ago, about 90 kilometers from London.

Nevertheless, for a long time Cambridge was just a country town. It was only after the founding of Cambridge University that the town's name became known, and today it is a city of 92,000 people.

Cambridge is located in North London. It is situated on a plain, with the River Sword flowing northeast from the city's west gate through the city and into the River Ussher. Cambridge has existed as a university city since the founding of Peter's College, the first college of the University of Cambridge, in the late 13th century.

Cambridge, also a city immediately adjacent to Boston, Massachusetts in the United States, is located across the Charles River from downtown Boston and is part of the Boston metropolitan area. It is home to two world-renowned universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I. Origin of the name

Cambridge, along with Oxford is a fascinating traditional university town. Cambridge University in the natural sciences is particularly outstanding achievements, feeding Newton, Darwin, such as the scientific masters of the new era of science.

88 Nobel Prize winners have come from the university (more than 100 have actually worked or taught there, but the official figure is based on whether a student or teacher has a membership/fellowship of the college), a rare honor in the world. Cambridge has been described with admiration as "the cradle of the natural sciences".

Cambridge is the name of a place synthesized from a combination of transliteration and meaning. In English, Cambridge is pronounced "Cambridge", bridge means bridge, and Cam sounds like "sword" in Fujian and Guangdong dialects.

Also known as Kangqiao (according to the combination of Mandarin transliteration and Italian translation). There is indeed a Jian River here, which flows in a large arc around the city to the northeast. Many bridges were built over the river, so the city was named Cambridge.

Two, Cambridge legend

Cambridge University also circulates many legends, one of the most famous is about the Queen's College math bridge. Legend has it that the bridge was built by Isaac Newton, and not a single screw was used in the entire bridge, but then a curious student took the bridge down to study it, but was unable to put it back together as it was, and had to rebuild the bridge with screws.

The story is false because the math bridge was built 22 years after Newton's death. What is true is that the bridge was first attached with iron nails, which are less visible, but the new one being built now uses screws. (The bridge does appear to have been taken apart and put back together again by a curious student, though.)
