This colorful and walkable 10-block
neighborhood was established in
1853 just after the steel making
giant, the Cambria Iron Works
became established in this area.
A forerunner of Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and United States
Steel Corporation, the Iron Works
attracted thousands of immigrants
seeking work in the mills and
mines. The area was a true melting
pot of immigrants who found work
in Johnstown’s cigar factories,
distilleries, and breweries and
established churches and social
clubs while preserving traditions
and cultures. Faith is both alive
and lively in Cambria City as this
cultural neighborhood makes a
dramatic transition! A walking tour
of Cambria City can be found at:
