Cambridge, Missouri
Cambridge is an extinct town in Saline County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]
Cambridge was laid out in 1848.[2] With the construction of the railroad, business shifted to nearby places, and the population dwindled.[2] A post office called Cambridge was established in 1845, and operated until 1903.[3]
