History

. In consequence of nonpayment of the debt, the property passed into his hands, and the new owner surveyed and platted quite a large addition to the riginal site. In the article, he records that as a young man in 1898, he had visited Cambria to meet his kindred and found it was still a Welsh language community which maintained its links with Wales. It is part of the Madison, Wisconsin Madison metropolitan area Statistical Area.

It was first called Florence, or Langdon's Mills, later Bellville, and finally Cambria, the Latin name for Wales, probably on account of the Welsh American settlers who came there in 1845. Viewing the beautiful landscape before them and stretching in splendor for miles in every direction under the variable-colored rays of the setting sun, they deliberately decided to make that locality their place of future abode, hoping that they were thus forming a nucleus around which their countrymen in the future would gather to form a Welsh colony.
After deciding on the location, they prepared to return, calling first at the Fox Lake land office to enter their claims.
