About March, Cambridgeshire

March is a market town located in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England. It is situated in the eastern part of the country, approximately 16 miles west of Ely and 20 miles north of Cambridge. The town has a rich history dating back to medieval times, with its origins linked to the development of the fenlands and agricultural activities in the region.

History

Historically, March was an important centre for agriculture and trade, benefiting from its strategic position in the fenlands. The town's name is believed to derive from the Latin word "Martius," meaning March, indicating its historical significance as a market town. Over the centuries, March has developed from a small settlement into a thriving community with a diverse local economy.

The town is served by a railway station, providing connections to larger cities such as Cambridge and Ely. Local amenities include schools, healthcare facilities, and various shops and markets that support the community.
