Cambridge-Guernsey County Community Improvement Corporation

The area's industry is built on a history of transportation. In the 1790's a road from Maryland to the Mississippi River was commissioned. Although never fully completed, the portion that was finished became the National Road which was replaced in the 1960's with Interstate 70, a vital artery that links the east and west coasts. Interstate 70 intersects near the county seat, Cambridge, with Interstate 77, a major north to south highway that stretches from Lake Erie to Florida. Much of the nation's goods travel through Guernsey County via the highway system. Historically, rail transportation serviced the once-thriving coal industry and still has a strong presence today. Air transport arriving at several local airports is important to local industries.
