> Most places consider... "Cambridge" to refer to the city in Kentucky

By "most places" I feel like we mean the USA? I live in the university town of Cambridge, England and have never heard anyone in Europe talk about Cambridge, Kentucky. I never knew Cambridge, KY existed until today, despite encountering all the lost waifs in /r/cambridge trying to talk about Cambridge, MA or Cambridge, Ontario.




I think this is wrong.

When I hear Cambridge I think Harvard/MIT. I know Cambridge England exists, but don't really know anything about it. I had no idea Cambridge Kentucky existed and I live much closer to Kentucky than I do Massachusetts of England.


I’m in the USA and this is my first time hearing of the Kentucky city. For me “Cambridge” refers 50/50 to either the Massachusetts town or the English university.


There’s also a Cambridge in Ontario Canada. Population 140k.
