In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Cambusnethan like this:
Cambusnethan, par. and vil. (part of Wishaw), N. Lanarkshire, 1½ mile NE. of Wishaw ry. sta.-- par., 16,608 ac., pop. 20,823; vil., pop. 1829. The par. contains Wishaw, Newmains, Overtown, Coltness Ironworks, part of Shotts Ironworks, and other towns and vils. engaged in the iron trade. Near the Clyde, and 1¼ mile SW. of Wishaw ry. sta., is C. House.
Cambusnethan is now part of NORTH LANARKSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH LANARKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Cambusnethan itself, go to Statistics.
