Administrative history
Central Presbyterian Church in Cambridge, Ontario was formed in 1880 from the union of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Galt (est. 1832), and Union Church, Galt (est. 1857). Union Church has its origins in the development of a United Presbyterian Church in 1857 by The Rev. John King from the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. It was located at the corner of Blair Road and Metcalfe Street in Galt. In 1861, the name was changed to "The Second Canada Presbyterian Church", Galt, and again to Melville Presbyterian Church in 1866. In 1870, it merged with Bayne Presbyterian Church, which was formed a year earlier by a minority of members from Knox's Galt Presbyterian Church. With this merging, the congregation took the name Union Church. With the formation of Central Presbyterian Church from the merging of the Union Church and St. Andrew's Church, construction began on a new building, which was officially opened on March 5th, 1882.
