 cambria: Cambria County Visitors
Cambria County, carved out of 700 square miles from portions of Somerset, Bedford, and Huntingdon Counties, was officially established by an Act of the State Legislature on March 26, 1804.
The County, however, was still rather sparsely populated at the time, so it was kept under the jurisdiction of Somerset County until the population was large enough and stable enough to justify autonomous political and judicial administration.
It was not until March 26, 1807, that the Pennsylvania Assembly granted the young county its complete status; and by November of that year, a full quota of county officials and judges was installed.
