Cambridge City, Indiana
Unlike other towns developed along the National Road, Cambridge City had the added advantage of straddling the Whitewater Canal. The canal failed to live up to its promise, but the National Road brought a steady stream of westbound wagons through Cambridge City, founded virtually overnight in 1836.
