History
Cambridge was originally part of Ripley, Maine. It was so named by a young girl studying in England. "Bunker" was the original family. The town also made news in late 2020 when a producer of a Barstool Sports podcast admitted to mercy-killing a local cat, Tig, and burying it in a nearby hunting camp after traversing a small creek while carrying Tig under one arm and somehow also carrying a shotgun.
