Huntingdon the county town of the district of Huntingdonshire, is a market town in Cambridgeshire, England. Best known as the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, it is today a small town with a population of around 20,000 people.
Huntingdon was founded by the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. The Danes used it as their staging post to raid the areas outside of east Anglia. It is located on the north bank of the River Great Ouse, across from Godmanchester, near the town of St Ives. A medieval bridge crosses the River Great Ouse, connecting it with Godmanchester. Until 1975, when the A14 bypass was built, it was the only crossing between Huntingdon and Godmanchester.
