Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an introductory glimpse into Cambridge, Massachusetts, notable as the location of the oldest college in the United States â" Harvard. Initially founded in 1630 as Newtowne, Cambridge's history is intimately entwined with the establishment of the college in 1636, soon renamed Harvard in honor of its earliest benefactor. From that day to this, the college has grown consistently, adding to its reputation and becoming one of the best-endowed colleges in the country, with an extensive library, distinguished professorships, and other advantages. The introduction of the horse-drawn omnibus in the year 1826 made travel between Cambridge and Boston more accessible, and by the 1850s, the introduction of the horse-drawn railroad made commuting even easier. The author traces the history of public transportation, from the early days of the ferries to the modern streetcars. The author also provides an extensive record of places of interest and historic significance in Cambridge, with particular attention paid to Harvard University and Mount Auburn Cemetery â" the final resting place of many notable figures.
