Reproduction panoramic view of Cambridge, Ohio drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1899. Cambridge is the county seat of Guernsey County and located in the Appalachian Plateau. The first settlement in the early 1800s was named in honor of Cambridge, Maryland. In 1806, when a group of immigrants from the Isle of Guernsey paused here on their way westward, the women of the group refused to move on and so they settled here. Later the city would be known for their famous glassworks.
