History of Preston
Preston, once known as “Cambridge Mills”, is located in the northwest area of Cambridge and is arguably the oldest settled area in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. While Preston was a prosperous manufacturing centre for stoves, furniture, wools and shoes, it became best known for its mineral springs. At the turn of the century, Preston housed five major hotels. Visitors from around the world travelled here seeking out the healing effects of the mineral baths that were thought to cure a variety of ailments. The sole remaining hotel today is the majestic Preston Springs Gardens, built in 1890, and currently under re-development.
