Cambridge was a small town 800 years ago when the first students and teachers arrived. The Granta River nurtured the town, which was once called the Cam River. A bridge was built over the river 875 years ago, so the town was named "Cambridge". In the 14 and 15 centuries, more land in the town was used for university construction. After the opening of the 9th century 1845 railway, Cambridge developed rapidly. Cambridge became a city in 195 1, and its population now exceeds 65438+ million. Many young students from other countries want to study at Cambridge University.
