Cambridge: Universities, Labs, and Kendall Square
Harvard University was founded in Cambridge in 1636, making it the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Harvard Yard, the original campus along Massachusetts Avenue, sits at the center of Harvard Square, a commercial district defined by bookstores, coffee shops, and street performers. The university's endowment, the largest of any academic institution in the world, funds operations that extend well beyond the classroom into hospitals, museums, and real estate across Boston and Cambridge.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology occupies a campus along the Charles River downstream from Harvard. Kendall Square, adjacent to MIT, has become one of the most concentrated biotech and pharmaceutical research districts on the planet. Moderna, Sanofi, Pfizer, Novartis, and dozens of smaller firms operate labs within walking distance of the MIT campus. Google, Microsoft, and other technology companies maintain major offices in the same area.
Central Square, located between Harvard and Kendall, retains more of the city's older commercial character, with a mix of restaurants, music venues, and social service agencies. Inman Square to the north and Porter Square on the Somerville border each have their own cluster of independent shops and restaurants. Cambridge shares the Red Line subway with Boston, and the connection between Kendall Square and downtown Boston takes about ten minutes by train.
The Charles River, separating Cambridge from Boston, provides a waterfront park system on both banks. The Head of the Charles Regatta, held annually in October, is the largest two-day rowing event in the world. Rowers and spectators pack the bridges and riverbanks. The mix of academic institutions, technology firms, and biotech laboratories has given Cambridge one of the highest concentrations of PhDs per capita of any city in the country.
Cambridge Common, a park near Harvard Square, served as the assembly point for colonial troops in 1775, and George Washington took command of the Continental Army under an elm tree there. The city operates under a proportional representation voting system for its city council, one of the few municipalities in the country to use this method. Cambridge's population of about 118,000 is augmented daily by tens of thousands of students and workers who commute in from surrounding communities.
