The Story of Cambria

Cambria began as a stop along the Monon Railroad. This railroad was built through the southwestern part of Owen Township. The name "Cambria" comes from an old name for Wales, a country in the United Kingdom. A post office opened in Cambria in 1883. It helped people send and receive mail for many years. However, it closed down in 1915.
