Cambria County Neighborhhod News Week

Welcome to Cambria County...Cambria County, carved out of 700 square miles from portions of Somerset, Bedford, and Huntingdon counties, was officially established by an Act of the State Legislature on March 26, 1804. Incidentally, the name "Cambria" was a derivation of the ancient Celtic word for Wales, known as the "land of Compatriots."
The County, however, was still rather sparsley populated at the time, so it was kept under the jurisdiction of Somerset County until the population was large enough and stable enough to justify autonomous political and judicial administration.
