Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Cambrian Park, CA

Cambrian Park is an unincorporated census-designated place in Santa Clara County — it is the small piece of San Jose's Cambrian neighborhood that was never annexed into the city, covering just 0.61 square miles in South San Jose.

The name traces back to Cambrian School, which ranch hand David Lewis of the Jeremiah D. Casey Ranch named in the 1870s for Cambria, the Latin name for Wales, the country of his birth.

The name "Cambrian Park" came into regular use in the 1950s, when the San Jose Mercury and San Jose News newspapers used it for the area covered by the Union and Cambrian school districts.

Cambrian Park was never incorporated as a town, although there were efforts to incorporate it in the early 1960s.

The 2020 census counted 3,719 people in Cambrian Park, a 13.3% jump from 3,282 in 2010, even though the count only covers the unincorporated remnant and not the parts already annexed by San Jose.

Cambrian Park had 1,180 households in 2020, with a large average household size of 3.11 people, and about 80% of its occupied homes were owner-occupied.

The neighborhood's commercial heart has always been Cambrian Park Plaza at the crossroads of Camden and Union Avenues, built in 1953, whose sign is topped by an iconic colorful carousel that is a local historical landmark.

The We and Our Neighbors women's club was founded in the area in 1892 to serve local farm families, and its 1910 clubhouse is a San Jose Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Good Samaritan Hospital, established in 1965, is located in the Cambrian neighborhood.

Cambrian Park students attend high school in the Campbell Union High School District, with Leigh High School and Branham High School serving the wider Cambrian area, while the former Camden High School in the neighborhood closed in 1980.
