Cambridge, New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cambridge is a town in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand. It is situated 24 kilometres southeast of Hamilton, on the banks of the Waikato River.The town is known as "The Town of Trees". With a population of 13,890 (2001 census) it is the biggest municipality in the Waipa District and still growing rapidly.

The town is now best known for its thoroughbred horse stables, which have produced many champion horses in the sports of racing and showjumping.

Notable natives are members of The Datsuns as well as the equestrian double Olympic gold medal winner Mark Todd. Lake Karapiro, recognised as one of the premium rowing lakes in the world is close by, producing several world rowing champions, notably Rob Waddell and the Evers-Swindell twins, Georgina and Caroline. World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist cyclist Sarah Ulmer also lives and trains in Cambridge, making Cambridge deserving of its new moniker "Town of Trees AND Champions". Former New Zealand and Australasian champion archer Brooke La Pine has also called Cambridge home for the past 23 years.
